Straight Men Kissing

Threeway Kiss in Y tu mamá también

What does it mean when Tenoch (Diego Luna) passionately kisses Julio (Gael García Bernal) during their threeway with sophisticated, intoxicating Luisa (Maribel Verdú) in the hit 2001 Mexican film Y tu mamá también? Not that the boys are gay or bisexual, but rather that they are both suddenly overcome by the realization that they’re sharing in a unique moment in time — a fleeting, innocence-destroying, emotionally overwhelming interlude after which nothing will ever be the same again.

Showdown with Fabio in Dude, Where’s My Car? (2000)

What to make of the scene in Dude, Where’s My Car? where Seann William Scott kisses Ashton Kutcher in an “Everything You Can Do I Can Do Better” face-off with Fabio in a neighboring car? The kiss doesn’t really make much sense, but let’s face it: it’s pretty damn hilarious. Then again, the absurd, surreal nature of the kiss is exactly the reason why it’s so funny. Plus, there’s absolutely no gay panic – on the contrary, have you ever seen actors more committed to a gag?

Who knew? Dude, Where’s My Car? just may be the Citizen Kane of straight men kissing on film!

Saved by the Bell’s “Masquerade Ball”

Okay, so those of us who grew up gay and watching the teen guilty pleasure Saved by the Bell were really hoping for Slater and Zack to kiss. But would you settle for Slater and … Screech? In the 1992 episode “Masquerade Ball,” the two teens end up unknowingly macking. Granted, they’re dressed as an astronaut and Gumbi at the time, but still!
