Google recently unveiled a new feature on its Pixel 3 phone: “kiss detection,” which automatically snaps a photo when it can sense two people attempting to take a kissing pic.

Pixel is showing off this feature in a Pride campaign that shows photos and videos of LGBT couples using the built-in kiss cam. The upbeat ad is set to the tune of “Then He Kissed Me” by The Crystals.

The effort follows a project Google launched earlier this month in honor of Pride.
