    This scene, from "the Fosters" is being hailed as both "groundbreaking" and "the end of society as we know it", depending on whether you have kindness and common sense or are an ignorant bigot.

    I think this scene was handled with incredible grace and delicacy and really conveys the fear and vulnerability and excitement of a first kiss, combined with the discomfort of accepting that you're gay.

    In an interview, one of the (straight) actors said he was uncomfortable with the idea, but ultimately felt it would send a really powerful message and help LGBT youth. I think it's incredibly courageous.

    I know there's another thread on the topic; figured it made sense to start one with a more descriptive title rather than edit the OP's thread title.

    That's really adorable ^_^

    Cool that they showed that on ABC Family, although I'm sure it's caused "huge controversy" :rolle:

    Actually I don't think it has because the show is actually based around a family with two moms.

    This was cute. I actually felt the tension.

    One of them appears to be a lot older though.

    It's all just too beautiful for words! <3
    I hate to say this but I still think that the only other time I've felt like this watching a kiss/relationship was Brokeback Mountain. Sorry, I had to say it!

    It's so adorable. I have to say I've never watched the show, though.
