I entirely sympathise with anyone wishing to demonstrate against something they do not agree with but ...
a demonstration such as the ones in AOG's links are rendered pointless because they become buried under a weight of controversy before they can - if indeed they ever well - reach their intended target.
If you wish to protest against a law that protects people from being upset, and your way of drawing attention to your cause is to upset people by simulating the action that is being withheld, then you are likely to be accused of misunderstanding the concept of proper protest, as well as being a egotistical attention-seeker.
So the idea of a mass 'anything' needs to be carefully thought through because otherwise it runs the risk of simply being ignored as band-waggoning and attention seeking, and runs very little risk of being taken seriously as a message by its target audience.

Well I scanned the first link and have to say I understand the protest. More nanny state stuff telling us what we can and can't see. It's taken years to roll back censorship, we don't need a re-emergence of it. It isn't as if it is in the face of those opting not to watch porn.
As for the second link, which I have now scanned, I can see folk might object to public displays of affection between those who are sexually attracted to the wrong gender. That they would worry about their children being subjected to that: but I suspect in the long term it isn't going to affect them adversely, and something that future generations will take in their stride. It is a public display though, so not quite the same as the other issue.
Meanwhile, as for what next, what did you have in mind AOG ?

Old_Geezer - " And when something isn't quite right the feelings of the attracted are towards the gender that can not continue the species with them."
I trust you have only ever indulged in sexual activity for the procreation of the species - anything other would be wrong - wouldn't it?
It is the season for chestnuts - you might as well trot that old chestnut out again!
