"American Teenager" lets two new gay characters in on the "Secret"

 
Alex Boling and Larry Sullivan

Up until now most of us probably knew ABC Family's The Secret Life of the American Teenager as "that one where Molly Ringwald has the pregnant kid". But we just got word that tonight's episode features two gay characters as a part of the central episode plot.

In tonight's episode, pregnant teen Amy Juergens (I'm not even kidding - I swear) is presented with a couple to potentially adopt her unborn kid. Apparently Brad and Angelina were unavailable, but Amy's father, George Juergens (sorry, I can't get over that name!) thinks that his gay coworker and his hubby might be the perfect adoptive 'rents.

As far as the gays go (who are NOT named Juergens, from what I can tell), they're played by Alex Boling (who plays Donovan) and Larry Sullivan (who plays Leon), whom you may recognize from the gay flick The Trip.

From the looks of it the guys will be appearing in a handful of episodes (Leon's slated for at least 3 eps and Donovan for more), so they aren't going anywhere fast. Once again ABC Family is breaking new ground when it comes to what kind of families they're getting behind. 

Here's a few more pics of the guys...
