So, history was made yesterday December 30th, 2009 when the daytime soap opera One Life To Live aired what was alluded to be a sex scene between Kish (Kyle and Fish).
I use the words 'alluded to' because there was no actual depiction of sex...after all this is still Network TV people, AND IT IS ABC.
What we had was a bit of foreplay - dimming of the lights, the lighting of candles, the slow mutual removal of each others' shirts, then the soft, promise filled kisses and then the cut to them already in bed under the covers looking into each others' eyes as they reach for one another...
...then we have a Stephenie 'Fade To Black' Meyers moment (those of you who read the Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn know exactly what my bitter ass means) and then boom they're lying sated still under the covers basking in the afterglow of their lovemaking.
It's a soap so it has to have the obligatory cheesy dialog:
Q: *Sigh* Is it always going to be like this?
A: *Sigh* Always
...and then they spoon! Swoon and le sigh.
Yes, it was cheesy and typical of a soap opera, but the victory here is that it was represented on Network Television and treated in a similar fashion to a heterosexual love scene; believably beautiful, romantic and tender. Who could ask for more?
Enjoy the scene for yourselves; very tastefully done, non? The beauty that is gay love, it brings tears to my eyes.
This is progress, friends.
