Exclusive: "Greek" to feature its first gay kiss on May 26

Calvin (Paul James) and Michael (Max Greenfield) are set to lock lips

We've been championing ABC Family's groundbreaking college dramedy Greek since it premiered last summer with an unconventional and unapologetically gay man, Calvin (played by Paul James), in its central cast. We loved the inclusive message, the complicated characters, and the show's refusal to judge its characters for their differences.

Now we're thrilled to share (in exclusive news just given to us moments ago) that Calvin and his new love interest, Michael (who is introduced this coming Monday), will share a kiss on-screen in the May 26th episode, "A Tale of Two Parties". Here's the episode description:

With all of the party restrictions lifted, Kappa Tau and Omega Chi throw competing parties to celebrate. Calvin (Paul James) is nervous about inviting Michael (Max Greenfield) to the party with all of his fraternity brothers around, while Michael feels uncomfortable partying with the students he is the TA at school for. Both are feeling a bit uneasy and a conversation between the two leads to a first kiss.

We're working on getting more details, but here is one pic from the episode. Looked to me like this might be just before the kiss. We'll update you when we can. For now, this is good news to fans who have been disappointed with Calvin's low profile so far this season, and good reason for those who have been missing out to tune in. (Am I right in thinking that this might be ABC Family's first gay smooch?) If you haven't yet hopped aboard the Greek bandwagon, check out our past coverage.
