#Gay men kissing passionately tv
‘Portret van een homofiel’, Dutch TV 1970 This could be considered the first if there wasn’t an earlier one in 1970, more about that one at the end of this article. On the 6th of December 1998 at 8:30 the TV show ‘That ’70s Show’ aired an episode that showed a passionate kiss between two young men.Īlthough one of the men was gay and the other not and it was a one-sided unwelcome attempt, it technically was a (half) passionate kiss between two men broadcast in the US during Prime Time in the US. Let’s get one contender for the first kiss between two men that was more than just a peck out of the way first. It is very possible that movies with same sex kisses, passionate or otherwise, were broadcast before these shows were shown.Īs I’ll show at the end of this article, cinema beat TV to it when it comes to most thing, especially in the pre-code era.īut until I happen to find out that one of these movies was indeed broadcast on TV before any of these other kisses that I mention here, we can’t be sure. Now onto the romantic, passionate and other same-sex kisses.

In the show ‘Will & Grace’, characters Will and Jack kiss live on national television, but the kiss is there to make a point, not out of romance, although it is quite passionate.

This article is just meant to point out when and where the first same sex kiss was broadcast. What follows are examples of people of the same gender kissing each other on television across the world, I make no distinction between drama (scripted kisses) and real life ones such as in documentaries. While people of the same gender kissing in a comedy, by accident, etc. Obviously the first television broadcasting of a serious romantic kiss between people of the same gender is a milestone, it is of huge importance. Law’ may have been the first kiss(es) between two women on American TV, the one in ‘Dawson’s Creek’ was not the first romantic kiss between men.īefore we continue we must also make a distinction between romantic kisses and non-romantic or platonic kisses.Ī romantic kiss involves love and/or passion, a general kiss can be out of friendship, as a joke, etc. Some reporters forget to add “ON AMERICAN TV” when they write about the first this or that.
