There are an interesting selection about love in the LGBT categories on Commons. Not surprising as most LGBT campaigning is about "love rights". :-)
Here are a handful that I would like to see used more widely: 1. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fucking_IKEA.jpeg - This photo of two men kissing has an interesting background, as it was created during a protest against Russian censorship of an IKEA catalog that included a lesbian couple. Apparently the Russian authorities feel that even acknowledging lesbians live together might be promoting homosexuality, which is of course, sadly against the law in that country. 2. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wasteland_company.jpg - The photographer (Kargaltsev) is well known for his photographs of gay life and love in New York, this tense shot is one in a series with the same couple. 3. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Um_beijo_gay_no_parque.jpg ~ "A gay kiss in the park" - This is a classic kiss during a gay pride event in Brazil, and is in use in several language Wikipedias to illustrate kissing and homosexuality. 4.File:Kimbo Kissing Carolyn rszd.jpg - Another image used to illustrate homosexuality on different Wikipedias, a lesbian couple in the USA.
