Despite the freezing sub-zero temperatures in New York City at the moment, some 40-ish people showed up in front of Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue as part of the ‘Lgbtq+ [sic] Make Out At Trump Tower’ event.
Demonstrators met up at 1 pm at the intersection of 61st Street and Central Park West, then marched to Trump Tower to kiss.

Although the number of people who showed up was far fewer than the some 1,800 people who RSVP’d attending, Vincent DeSeno, one of the organisers, said told amNewYork that “because of the weather, a lot of people who were coming from out of state […] could not make it”.
