Default ABC Family's `The Fosters' Airs Youngest-Ever Gay Kiss Between Two 13-Year-Old Boys

The ABC Family drama The Fosters made television history Monday night
for featuring the youngest ever dramatized gay kiss, as characters Jude
and Connor, both 13, locked lips after some awkward flirting.

Watch the scene below:

The show’s creator, Peter Paige, (Queer as Folk,) tweeted his
excitement at the scene immediately following the broadcast:

Quote:
Anyone else remember the exquisite torture of falling for
someone and not knowing how they felt? My life in jr. high.

Youngest same-sex kiss in US television history? #Jonnor

If this #Jonnor kiss is stressing you out, I'd like to know
how old you were when you had your first kiss?

Set in a mixed family environment, The Fosters are a diverse group of
children, both biological and adopted, whom an interracial lesbian
couple cares for, according to the show’s IMDB page.

The show, which premiered in 2013, already pushes the limits in the
eyes of some, who have raised questions regarding what constitutes
modern family programming.

The watchdog group One Million Moms boycotted the show immediately
after it was announced in 2012.

The group then stated:

Quote:
Obviously, ABC has lost their minds… One Million Moms is not
sure how the explanation will be given on how the biological
children were conceived. None of this material is acceptable
content for a family show … Let’s stop this dead in it its
tracks.
Co-executive producer Jennifer Lopez previously described the show as
portraying “a new kind of family” and believes it is reflective of the
world today.

“Family has tuned into something else,” said Lopez. “Family equals
love.”

ABC Family, originally founded by controversial pastor Pat Robinson as
the Christian Broadcasting Network, was acquired by Disney in 2001. The
station generally runs a lineup of mixed family programming, and
previously popular syndicated sitcoms, but has faced criticism in the
past for branding itself as “family friendly.”

Robertson’s daily faith-based news show The 700 Club is broadcast on
the network to this day, and was ironically aired Monday immediately
following a rebroadcast of The Fosters.

Robertson has been openly critical of homosexuality for many years.

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation group has praised The
Fosters, and the show won the award for Outstanding Drama Series at the
2014 GLAAD Awards.

I'm pretty sure I caught this episode (and the scene in question) tonight and the kiss didn't bother me at all.

Default The Fosters star complains about age restrictions on a same-sex kiss YouTube video

http://variety.com/2015/digital/news...sh-1201462315/

The complaint from Gavin MacIntosh led to YouTube lifting the restrictions.

The alternative would be INTOLERENCE, BIGOTRY and CONSTANT TURMOIL.
