'L.A. Law' Lesbian Kiss Hailed By Gay Rights Group
‘L.A. Law’ Lesbian Kiss Hailed By Gay Rights Group
LOS ANGELES (AP) _ Gay activists said Friday a kiss between two women lawyers on this week’s episode of ″L.A. Law″ may have been the first lesbian kiss broadcast on commercial network television.
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation hailed NBC, saying the ″historic smooch makes attorney C.J. Lamb ... the only recurring gay or bisexual female character currently on television.″
ABC’s ″thirtysomething″ has two gay male characters who appear infrequently. CBS’ ″Doctor, Doctor″ comedy series, now on hiatus, had an openly gay male supporting character.
Some advertisers boycott ″thirtysomething″ each time the gay characters appear. ″Doctor, Doctor″ never experienced advertising boycotts.
NBC spokeswoman Sue Binford said the network didn’t know if the Thursday night show’s lesbian kiss was a first. Some advertisers yanked their commercials, she said, but audience response was ″really mild.″
Of about 85 viewer calls to NBC, slightly more than half were negative, Binford said. The advertisers who withdrew their spots were immediately replaced and the network didn’t lose any money, Binford said.
Such defections, she added, occur regularly on ″L.A. Law,″ a series known for consistently breaking the boundaries of traditional television.
The kiss, which lasted only a few seconds, came when C.J. made a pass at character Abby Perkins as they hugged after an office maneuver that upped Abby’s income.
Later in the show, Abby told C.J., ″I like men.″
″L.A. Law,″ which won last year’s Emmy for best dramatic series, has broken TV taboos in each of its five seasons on the air. In one episode last year, a lead character audibly passed gas. In another segment, a guest character with Tourette’s Syndrome sputtered racial epithets on the witness stand.
In December, GLAD launched a high-profile campaign to embarrass NBC for rescheduling an episode of ″Lifestories″ that dealt with AIDS.
Since then, GLAD members and NBC executives have met to discuss the depiction of gays and lesbians in the network’s programs.
Also Friday, GLAD said it would protest a kiss between two men shown earlier Thursday on NBC’s hit comedy series ″Cheers.″
In that scene, womanizing bartender Sam (played by Ted Danson), kissed another man to try to convince Rebecca (played by Kirstie Alley), that he was not interested in her.
The exchange ended with the other man slugging Sam.
″We were very disappointed at the idea that there can’t be affection between two men without it being followed by violence,″ Jennings said.

The "lesbian kiss episode" is a subgenre of the media portrayal of lesbianism in American television media, created in the 1990s. Beginning in 1991 with a kiss on the American L.A. Law series' episode "He's a Crowd" between C.J. Lamb and Abby Perkins,[note 1] David E. Kelley, who wrote the episode in question, went on to use the trope in at least two of his other shows. Subsequent television series included an episode in which a seemingly heterosexual female character engages in a kiss with a possibly lesbian or bisexual character. In most instances, the potential of a relationship between the women does not survive past the episode and the lesbian or suspected lesbian never appears again.
In 2005 The New York Times, examining the lesbian kiss episode phenomenon, concluded that women kissing women is often used as a gimmick during "sweeps" periods, times when Nielsen ratings are used by the broadcast networks to determine advertising rates. Lesbian kisses are:
Eminently visual; cheap, provided the actors are willing; controversial, year in and year out; and elegantly reversible (sweeps lesbians typically vanish or go straight when the week's over), kisses between women are perfect sweeps stunts. They offer something for everyone, from advocacy groups looking for role models to indignation-seeking conservatives, from goggle-eyed male viewers to progressive female ones, from tyrants who demand psychological complexity to plot buffs.[1]
Michele Greene, who played Abby on L.A. Law, confirmed in an interview with AfterEllen.com that her kiss with Amanda Donohoe's C.J. was a ratings ploy and that there was never any intention on the part of producers to seriously explore the possibility of a relationship between two women.[2] The attitude about portraying lesbian relationships with any longevity persisted in Hollywood, as Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997–2003) writer Marti Noxon encountered resistance from television executives when setting the groundwork for the long-term relationship between Willow Rosenberg (Alyson Hannigan) and Tara Maclay (Amber Benson). Noxon spoke of the resistance Buffy writers encountered in 2002, saying in an interview, "You can show girls kissing once, but you can't show them kissing twice… because the second time, it means that they liked it."[3]
