Public displays such as "kiss-in's" tend to stir up and unite the homophobic opposition. I think it helps them rally their troops. If the ultimate goal is to sway public opinion I don't think kiss in's are effective. On the other hand the video in this article takes on the issue in a more subtle way and I think would be a great way to fight the battle.
