Daytime soap opera, Days of our Lives, made history by airing its first same-sex kiss. The episode featured Will kissing a handsome stranger named Neil. Will’s character has struggled with accepting himself and this kiss is seen as a major step forward for the show. Days of Our Lives has been on air since 1965 and has rarely ventured into unconventional storylines, but with the cancellation of All My Children, the producers are trying to appeal to a younger audience. The kiss has been welcomed by many as a long overdue move.
