Here's the 100 Most Iconic Movie & TV Gay Kisses of All Time
What are the most iconic on-screen gay kisses of all time?

We've come a long way in recent years when it comes to real, authentic depictions of gay love on-screen, and while same-sex kisses are still fairly new when you consider the overall history of Hollywood and media, there's still a whole lot of gay love, specifically gay kisses, to watch and choose from. While that's obviously a great thing, it can make it hard to try and navigate which ones are the best and most iconic!
Luckily, celebrity blog Mr. Man took all the guesswork out of trying to come up with the best gay kisses of all time and compiled a handy list of the top 100 that includes the likes of the Oscar-winning 2016 Barry Jenkins film Moonlight, Timothee Chalamet and Armie Hammer's Call Me by Your Name, Showtime's long-running Shameless, Netflix's cult-favorite Sense8, and so many more beloved movie and television titles.
"We judged these gay smooches on their historic impact as well as their overall hotness," Mr. Man writes about the creation of their groundbreaking (and steamy) kisses list. "Gay representation in Hollywood has come a long way since even a decade ago, and we can't wait to see where it goes in the future."
Scroll through the top 10 below, and for the full list, be sure to check out Mr. Man's website!
