Now this is an idea! There is a lot of weight behind the creation of “Kiss a Ginger Day” as opposed to the “Kick a Ginger Day” that was all in the news last year. There are a whole bunch of facebook groups popping up setting times and locations for us to all gather together en mass and show off our fiery red hair. If you can find one in your area i suggest you attend!
The best part is that this will be the 2nd Kiss a Ginger day this year! This new one plans to celebrate it in April, however one was first celebrated in January. I dont see why we need limit ourselves to one day though! Derek Forgie, a talent coordinator for MTV Canada recently created the first Kiss A Ginger Day group on facebook and was amazed by the attention it got. He said he started it as a “karmic counter-event” to the news coverage of a ginger child getting beat up by his peers in school last year. People all over the world ended up reacting to that event. An example of what they called “Gingerism“, or discrimination against gingers.
I hope that enough people do end up showing so that the rest of the world realizes that its not OK to “kick a redhead” or anyone else for that matter. People gota live to get along no matter what they look on the outside. Because we are all the same on the inside!
