Same Sex Kiss in Macy's Thanksgiving Parade

Welcome to my new home! First post at my new home is about a first in the time honored tradition that is the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade: a same-sex kiss. If you've never sat down on Thanksgiving morning to watch the parade, then you won't know that they feature musical numbers from Broadway shows.

The song the cast performed ended with a kiss and everyone watching, got to see.

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade just broadcast what is believed to be its first kiss between a same-sex couple.

Amid the big balloons and floats during Thursday’s famous New York City parade, actresses Caitlin Kinnunen and Isabelle McCalla kissed on a live NBC broadcast during a performance of the new Broadway musical “The Prom.” The moment is thought to be the first lesbian kiss to be captured on the holiday’s nationally televised event.

“The Prom” opened on Broadway this month and tells the story of a gay girl in a rural town in Indiana who is barred from taking her girlfriend to prom. When a few famous actors from New York City hear of the trouble, they travel to Indiana to support the young couple.
