On August 11, an attempt was made by Matty Daley and Bobby Canciello to break the world record for the longest kiss. The two men began the mulit-hour kiss yesterday as part of their “Our Lips Are Sealed” campaign to fight homophobia.

The New Jersey college students have big hopes for their long kiss. The two, who are not a couple, say that the kiss campaign is “about fighting hegemonic norms.” If they succeed, it will be the first gay kiss to break a record in Guinness World Record history.

According to Guinness rules: the kiss must take place standing up, no breaks are allowed, lips must stay locked continuously, the couple must be awake and no incontinence pads or adult diapers are allowed. The current record is 32 hours seven minutes and 14 seconds held by Nikola Matovic and Kristina Reinhart of Germany.
