By Josh Haggis
A US sitcom has made history by airing the youngest gay kiss ever on US television.
On Monday (March 2), ABC Family’s The Fosters aired a kiss between two 13-year-old teenagers, Jude and Connor, whose close relationship had previously only been hinted at before on the show.
The friendship between the two boys came to a head on Monday night’s episode when Jude, who’s struggle to understand his sexuality has been an on-going storyline within the series, decided to bite the bullet and kiss Connor.
