Curt Janka, who organized the event, was inspired by the #twomenkissing hashtag that took off not long after the massacre. "If a same-sex kiss prompted the heinous event in Orlando, then let's flood the Internet with positive displays of love," he wrote on the event's Facebook page. "Love, in all its beautiful forms, is not to be feared."

Janka invited people to come down to the Castro on Wednesday to show their affection and share their experiences with the #SpreadLove hashtag. 

"This was an attack against our whole LGBTQ community so I wanted to make sure it wasn't just #TwoMenKissing but also #TwoWomenKissing," Janka told Mashablein an email. "That's why #SpreadLove has been the core message."

He snapped plenty of love-filled photos at the kiss-in:

"Yes, we need to take tangible action and address gun control laws," Janka told Mashable. "But we are human. We need to grieve and love is one of the best ways to heal the hurt."
