International Kissing Day Top Posts Photos Gif Twitter

Illustrated by Anna Sudit.

Today is International Kissing Day, and people took to Twitter to celebrate. The goal behind the awareness day is to remind people to recognise the simple value of a kiss between friends, lovers, family, and yes, even pets. Today, we are encouraged to appreciate love and intimacy in all forms — and to beat existing world kissing records .

With the hashtag taking off, users expressed their support (or lack thereof) in tweets range from sweet and sexy to petty and self-deprecating. Mostly, there were lots of dogs.

Ahead, check out some of our favorite posts from the day.
