"United We Love (2009)" - San Francisco Kiss-In

[freakylocz14]

This is cute, but straight couples should have also been included.

[SeanChapin1]

@freakylocz14, they were welcome, and unfortunately none showed up. There were straight couples at other kiss-ins on this same day.

[mookiemay]

Argue about God's judgment and provide specific scripture in the Bible to justify why someone would end up in hell rather than with Jesus. In the end, He has the final say. He is the Judge and until you know without a doubt exactly what He would do, then stand down.

[ReallyNow9]

Lovely :)

[CLeprechaun]

I've watched this video a few times before,but I cried this time.

I'm a nerd.

[JerbyVids]

This is really nice, too. :)

[all4him101]

IS IT ANY WONDER WHY GOD CASTS THESE SOULS TO HELL ? HOW REPULSIVE THEY REALLY ARE, NOT HAVING THE UNDERSTANDING OF GOOD AND EVIL THEY BEING WEAK ARE CHOOSING EVIL INSTEAD OF GOOD AND SERVING satan INSTEAD OF GOD. ITS SAD THAT THEY WOULD RATHER BURN IN HELL THEN SURVIVE FOREVER WITH JESUS . HOW SAD IS THAT

[SeanChapin1]

@all4him101, I find it unnecessary to get your point across by shouting with all caps. Second, the God that many of us believe in loves and embraces all people, gay and straight, and being gay is another form of love. Homosexuality is not a moral - it's a sexual orientation like heterosexuality found in virtually all species on our planet, and I am sure that the vast majority of species if not all (except humans) understand the concept of good and evil.

[SeanChapin1]

@all4him101, rather, morals are about virtues such as love, honesty, trust, generosity, compassion and kindness, as well as less desired virtues such as prejudice, ignorance and hatred. It doesn't matter if you're gay or straight, but it does matter if you love or hate, and I think you would be better off focusing on people's choice to love or hate, not on immutable traits like height, eye color or sexual orientation. Honestly, I found your comment to be incendiary bordering on obnoxious.

[gaygeorgetheboy]

@all4him101 john there is nothing wrong with 2 men kissing or 2 women kissing or a man and a women kissing how can you condem people you dont know? i cant see god condeming a person for a weekness i tell you john i have some deep wounds in my life being beaten by my dad every day from the time i was 5 till i was 15 my dad was pure evil and he is in hell i lived in a living hell in my life god saw my life if he is a all loving god he saw what i went trew he wood not condem me 4 being gay

[ReallyNow9]

@all4him101 How sad is it that you would rather choose a God that sends children to hell over true love?

[rileybobo50]

@all4him101 i feel sorry for you

[STR8PAGANIST]

Mmm...and just how many videos of heterosexuals promoting their sexuality do we see on GayTube compared to the glut of pro-homosexual videos? Where's the equity in all this? Or is that gays have to FORCE the notion that their lifestyle is somehow normal, verses heterosexuality which is the biological and social norm? Tolerance is adequate for any aberrant sexual orientation...get over yourselves gay community!

[ROXYLUCY]

@STR8PAGANIST

Get a grip you ass hole the entire of society shows straight people kissing and making love, movies, songs, videos, and gay people always stand behind the door, it's actually ass holes like you that force yourself on society... listen to your ass hole self you cock sucking transparent faggot.

[hlg1767]

You are the one who need to get over because we have been here through history and we will still be here. We will love and live even if that make your life miserable.

[bobby472]

@STR8PAGANIST lol fuck your a moron. The reason there are so many videos about homosexuality is because they are tired of being treated like second class citizens. You would do the same thing if you were in their shoes. Maybe you shouldnt talk about things you dont understand. They dont do this to make everyone like them. They do this to have their gov treat them the same as everyone else. Which will happen

[smackfags]

AIDS infested ass pumpers. sick bastards

shit breath sodomites

[bobby472]

@smackfags lol "sodomites"? great we got a fucking muslim here. did you know that straight people have aids too? probably not, you are a mulsim so you know fuck all about anything except your imaginary friend. ugh i hate stupid people like you. do the world a favour and kill yourself.

[sandman503]

being gay is not for me but seriously, how can you hate on that, look at how happy these people are.

[LetsTalkSexTalk]

So good! Favorited!

[bobby472]

:-( i wanna kiss.......

Great vidoe Sean :-) very beautiful and heart warming.

[NoNameMtl]

The songs got a life. Great voice and composition.

Applauds Sean!!

[pippipop1337]

Epic video :)

<3 made my day

[SmithGurl1208]

Beautiful video. I believe that if there is true love between two people; regardless of gender, race, ethnicity or religious background, that is is blessed of God. I mean, what about Jonathan and David in the Bible?

With the deep descriptions of their relationship, NO ONE can convince me that they were "just" friends.

God is a God of love; not hate or intolerance. That's the product of evil and people who seem to misunderstand.

God bless, and great video!! ;)

[stoner829]

To all of those who are filled with hatred towards gay people... it is certainly not a choice. Gay people have been on this planet since the beginning of time and will be here until the end.. We are "not trying to take over the world and make other people gay"..that is impossible. American Indians accepted gay people because it is a part of nature. I feel sorry for closeted gay people in these blogs making comments. PLEASE! Be who you are..life is too short. Being alone is sad...

[nellyfurtado4lyfe]

@stoner829 You are so right! I am American Indian. I lived on the reservation for half my life. It's completely different, sadly. I'm gay and most people out there now are not as accepting as they once were. The younger generation is more quite accepting. And the elders understand as well. But the people in between are very hateful towards homosexuals. One day I hope though everywhere will be more understanding. : )

[stoner829]

It is sad that the so called "Christians" have introduced these hateful ideas into your pure culture. I hope the elders and the younger generation repair these wounds.

[MarkieWatch100]

Great video and song!! Keep up the good work Sean and God Bless you!

[smithmariah09]

Ooops! It's "how to have a new life" at channel lucyjbm, or just type the lost doctrine, lucyjbm on search.

[smithmariah09]

I do feel sorry for those who embrace this lifestyle...God have mercy ...I've watched lucyjbm's channel - The Lost Doctrine, pls chk it out...the truth shall set you free. Shalom

[SeanChapin1]

smithmariah09, don't feel sorry for us - we are gay people, and we are proud and happy to be who we are. I hope you are just as happy in your life.

[smithmariah09]

Hi Sean, fact is we are no different from you, meaning we are all born bent towards sins in our carnality. Good bews is God sent His only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ to redeem us, to set us free. Please watch the clips at channel lucyjbm. We are here to help not to condemn.

[SeanChapin1]

smithmariah09, I may be different from you in that I believe in a God who made us who we are, whether gay or straight, and loves and celebrates all of us regardless of our sexual orientation. I do not regard homosexuality as a sin; rather, I see it as an indifferent sexual orientation in countless species throughout our planet. I appreciate your offering of help, but I do not need your help, because I do not think that your help is needed.

[smithmariah09]

Very well, I respect your decision. I'm not sure which God you believe in (a God). The Creator, Heavenly Father is the God, the one and only true living God. He created us man and woman, Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. Gays profess they are Christians BUT read 1Cor 6:9 We love you but please seek help and not be deceived. I urge you to watch the clips at lucyjbm, sermons not many would like to preach nowadays because they are not popular. Blessings.

[SeanChapin1]

smithmariah09, we may believe in the same God, though we may differ in God's view on homosexuality.

[roxannpadilla]

get a room! hahahhah

[jelleybd]

beautiful, I made the cincinnati kiss video but this one is amazing!

[lucyjbm]

check this out beloved, get a life! Blessings: The Lost Doctrine - Paul Washer

[lucyjbm]

yaks...

[Artistspeaks]

You don't sound like a good Christian! Oh Lord for shame on you.

God Blessed!

[921553]

Even though how much you will say that there is "LOVE" in this video, this is truelly disgusting! And oh yeah...this comment may take a thousands of CRITISISM that might DISAGREE to this statement, but i dont care! Say what ever you want to say to me, this is the reality and reality hurts! The GOD will not forgive you for doing this lunatic behaviour for sure...

[SeanChapin1]

921553, to me, I think it's pretty obvious that the people in this video love each other, and I couldn't comprehend how the gender identity of the people in the couples shown in this video directly determines the love that they have for each other. Love comes in many forms, and I think this makes sense to the vast majority of people, many of them choose to not accept it based on what they were carefully taught by others at a very early age in their lives.

[polishsupreme]

Disgusting

[SeanChapin1]

polishsupreme, how is this disgusting? I don't understand...

[TURKKNCL]

I am about to vomit.

[SeanChapin1]

TURKKNCL, how come? I find this video to be beautiful, couldn't imagine why someone would feel like vomiting from watching it - that just seems silly to me. I wouldn't be surprised for people to be taught that being gay is disgusting, but I honestly believe that deep down inside everyone people understand that love comes in many forms, and the concept of love is universal.

[TURKKNCL]

I was randomly clicking most wiewed videos. I didn't even look at the thumbnail carefully. But I should have guessed I would see such a thing when I saw the word "San Francisco". :P

And I don't go against those people. That'd be really pointless and silly to accuse them for what they are. I don't mind what they feel and what they do but I said what I felt: "I am about to vomit". That was really what I felt. They show what they fell and I show mine. Isn't it freedom of expression?

[SeanChapin1]

TURKKNCL, I am responding to your comment, not telling you what to say with respect to freedom of expression. If you really felt like you were about to vomit, then I feel sorry for you for feeling repulsed by something that to me is inherently beautiful, no matter the gender identification of the two people kissing each other. I am a native San Franciscan, and I am very proud to have grown up and reside in a beautiful and progressive-thinking city; I choose progression over regression any day.

[TURKKNCL]

Having gay men kissing each other on the streets is not a progression, anyways...

[SeanChapin1]

TURKKNCL, the point being made at these protests is that gay people are being treated differently for committing harmless public displays of affection (i.e. hugs, pecks on cheeck, etc.) compared to straight people, and gay people are standing up to the resulting injustice from being treated differently. Gay people being able to show their affection publicly in a harmless manner as much as straight people is a progression towards equality in society.

[TURKKNCL]

Of course they are being treated differently because they are doing something weird by underlining their sexual identity on the streets. Did you ever imagine what would happen if straight people also do that? That'd be weird. So also gay people don't need to do that and obviously this "affection" sparks of more anger not sympaty towards gays. The rights can be taken by lobbying etc. not by wearing latex and kissing each other on the streets and causing public anger.

[Billydude9]

TURKK....how is that any different than gay people always having to witness straight people kissing. That is very unnatural to US! Yet, we have to endure it over and over and on television and movies. Kinda makes some of us want to vomit.

[omiolo2]

I guess this beats VANDALIZING Mormons Churches like your types usually do!

[SeanChapin1]

omiolo2, can you elaborate further in terms of what you mean by "your types" vandalizing mormon churches?

[stoner829]

Yours truly has tears in his eyes. Absolutely beautiful!

The world would be a much better place if there were more Sean Chapins in it.....

[SeanChapin1]

You are way too kind.  Thank you :'-)

[bobby472]

ugh I hate this video yet I love it so much. lol

I live in a very small city so im single. I know there are gay people here, but they must not be out yet or something. But the video was very very beautiful. Thank you

[debbieomi]

Simply beautiful...the music and the visuals. That sign at the end could have also said "Loving is not a crime".

I am near 45 and hope that in my life time, we will see equal rights for all humans.

Peace.

[GayComicGeek]

This was a beautiful video!

[Abendzeit]

Or, the musik makes me cry^^

My boyfriend split up with me 3 weeks ago, and today I woke up next to him and he said he loves me, and he whants me back^^

[SeanChapin1]

Abendzeit, sounds like you've had an eventful few weeks. If there is something that I could say, it is that you must love yourself first and foremost - that tenet alone will help you shed much light on most circumstances that anyone may face.

[Abendzeit]

You are wright... but it is so hard.

Somebody once said to me "You are ripe for a partner if you can live on your own"

Il comment your video properly two.

I live in germany and I am sooo happy that they are open to gay relationships. I have hardly had any bad expieriences, (exept the odd stupid children;). Our CSD is turning into a mockery though... Everybody runs around like sex is aloud on the street 0.o

Kiss in is a wonderfull idea and I hope it will reach many people!

[omiolo2]

NOTHING great about it. STOP pretending there are a LOT Of people participating!

[SeanChapin1]

omiolo2, there were between 10-20 couples that participated in this kiss-in, but regardless I don't think I was trying to manipulate the appearance of a large attendance. I also don't understand how there is nothing great about this - I see love in this video, and I find love to be beautiful. If you disagree, then might I suggest you to check your eyesight or wipe your glasses, because it's right there in front of you.

[giovanni010479]

there was about a 100 or so..

[panthera50]

Now this is something to get optimistic about. :-)

Love, love and love, simply beautiful !!!

[wyldkatt1]

This is disturbing at best.

[SeanChapin1]

wyldkatt1, how is this disturbing? Just because it's two men or two women who genuinely love each other it's disturbing? That seems really silly to me, and I wonder if you learned to think that this is disturbing and are scared to cross the line towards better understanding what this means and maybe even accepting it - believe me, it isn't hard to see this as what it is, which is real love.

[Earthleeng]

I saw Anna on video saying "I think it's important to go out & be in public & be around children & be around families because we are not a threat to those values. We are part of the same world." The rest of the world seems to be missing. Were there any straight supporters out there willing to stick their necks out for your cause? If so, it's a shame that you didn't take advantage of a very powerful statement - two couples, one straight/one gay showing affection in public. That's equality.

[SeanChapin1]

Hi Earthleeng - I wholeheartedly agree with you. Unfortunately, I didn't notice any straight couples participating in the kiss-in in San Francisco last Saturday. I think this was much more of a reflection of the event being promoted primarily online on Facebook and various blogs, which means that the vast majority probably didn't know that this was going on. If it was publicized more widely, I bet there would have been some straight couples at the SF event (there were in Santa Monica).

[Earthleeng]

I didn't have enough space in the last comment box but I also wanted to add that this is a beautiful montage.

[SeanChapin1]

Thanks! :)

[Earthleeng]

That Santa Monica footage is great, too. I can't remember the exact words but I like the quote about using making gay PDAs part of the landscape. Straight or gay, it's two people showing they love each other. I hope that society will stop seeing gay PDAs as not normal.

[scattl]

Thank you for capturing the moments so beautifully.

[elpau84]

I am not homophob, not hating gay ppl. But its kinda disgusting seeing those men kissing each other. But again... no problem with gays, just dont want to watch this. Salut.

[Artistspeaks]

Are You Retareded?

[Twirble]

Love is so much better than hate. I always believed god was love and the devil was hate.

The porn I had to wade through to find this was sad though.

[obliviousdreamer]

love is a beautiful thing.

[HyperSpeziFisch]

how beautiful!

I wish all you guys all the love in the world!

[drhoddy]

Is this version of the song available for download anywhere? Got the Amazon mp3 but I really like the slower version here.

[SeanChapin1]

Hi drhoddy - thanks for the compliment! I actually just recorded/produced the slower version last week, and I'll probably put this version up on iTunes in the next month/two.

[TheMooseJ]

I'm chearing you all on from acros the pond!

xx

[scruzlife]

Beautiful! Thank you!

[greg94114]

Sean: Thanks for the really beautiful shots of kissing. The light is perfect, the colors are great, and well....you can't beat the subjects. I was going to drag my friend down to the kiss out...alas, he wasn't available! Thanks for taking this on!

[bencruzsf]

This is great Yang. The two of you were very cute! Very emotional! :)

[MarcelSerbassen]

Perhaps you`re right, I'm just a silly boy who has to much free time, no women and hate myself more than all others... thats the answer, have a nice day.

[SeanChapin1]

Thanks, you too - and hope you find the woman of your dreams :).

[MarcelSerbassen]

Oh man SeanChapin1, you don't get it... I'm married and have two children, I ment this ironic. I hate homosexual people for political and ethic reasons... it seems I have some problems to translate the irony from german into the american english... SORRY ABOUT THAT! And now have a nice day...

[SeanChapin1]

MarcelSerbassen, why would you hate anybody? Isn't hate an evil thing? And how could someone have a nice day when he/she is told that he/she is hated?

[MarcelSerbassen]

I don't know what makes me puking more: two guys or two old hags kissing each other. Simply disgusting.

[SeanChapin1]

MarcelSerbassen, how come? I think that the love among the couples in the video is beautiful. I can't believe that people would find it disgusting just because it's two men or two women - that just seems silly to me.

[Lydster05]

You know, no one forces you to watch videos with 2 guys kissing. I could never understand people like you who first watch videos they don't like and then complain about them afterwards.

Oh yes: maybe you should indeed get laid. Sexual frustration is not a very nice thing.

[TezQuetz]

Beautiful video, beautiful son and SUCH a powerful image to close the whole thing off - Congratulations on a great job!

[taroliw]

Really great video, Sean... And I'm not the least bit prejudiced ;)

[Tritium8]

simply lovely :)

[badbutt570]

Beautiful!

[jerrydsmith1]

How can anyone find love to be wrong?  Rise above stereotypes and seek to understand the emotional and intellectual side of being human.

[Dolalgamur]

omfg

[TimotheosCauvin]

Repent!

[SeanChapin1]

TimotheosCauvin, of the videos that I have done, I had the most fun editing this video because it made me smile to see such happiness and love from the couples that were captured on film. Love is so important in making the world a better place that no one should be denied the chance to love who he or she would love. I believe that God and Jesus agree with this, and I sincerely believe the Bible is unfortunately misinformed in describing homosexuality as an abomination.

[Arado16]

have courage against the hate

[paulahare2]

ok ok ok ok

[wawa2]

Your vocals are beautiful in this and so is the video, thank you so much!

[bbbbmer]

That is one of your best efforts, sweetie! Thank you....

[Jeromiegarza]

Great montage!! Loved it!
