Kiss A Ginger Day HistoryKiss a Ginger Day aims to celebrate people with red hair and to help combat negative stereotypes and bullying associated with this trait. It's an opportunity to appreciate the diversity in human characteristics, and particularly to acknowledge the unique qualities of the 2% of the global population blessed with ginger hair. Red hair is a genetic trait caused by a mutation in the MC1R gene, a phenomenon observed worldwide but with a higher concentration in Northern and Western Europe. This includes many people within the United States too, contributing to its rich multicultural makeup. The Observance of Kiss a Ginger Day originated in 2009 as an online movement by Derek Forgie. He wanted to create a positive response to the cruel 'Kick a Ginger Day' that was inspired by a South Park episode in 2005, a precedent that echoed through American society. For many Americans, Kiss a Ginger Day is seen as a celebration of diversity and a stand against discrimination of all kinds. It brings a reminder that prejudice based on appearance is still widespread, but can be successfully counteracted through positive reinforcement and celebratory events like this one. Kiss a Ginger Day in America is marked by showing support and appreciation to those with red hair. People who have ginger friends, family, or acquaintances might give a friendly peck on the cheek (with consent, of course) or simply express their admiration for the hair color. Some may also show their support through online platforms by posting pictures, encouraging conversations about red-haired individuals, and promoting the recognition and appreciation that they deserve. Kiss a Ginger Day is observed on January 12th each year. Facts about Kiss A Ginger Day
