Daytime Television's Very First Teenage Gay Kiss!

Start off your weekend right, good QueerSighters, and watch history-in-the-making:

This groundbreaking clip from 'As The World Turns' is the VERY FIRST TIME two gay teen characters have locked lips on daytime TV.

And we're not talking about a 'Melrose Place' kind of kiss. (You know what I mean: The camera lurks behind one of the guys' heads to block the actual kiss, but "we know what they're doing, right?" Um, wrong!)

Oh no. We're talking sexy and full-on!



This is a big step in the right direction: The scene (and, one can assume, the storyline to follow) not only makes the love and affection between two men more acceptable and laissez-faire (as it should be), but it also tells countless LGBT teens who might be watching the show that what they themselves are thinking, feeling and doing is normal and nothing to be ashamed of. And that's a wonderful thing.

So tell me, QueerSighters: What do YOU think? Is this a big deal or a big yawn? Let me know.
