Steven Levitan: 'Modern Family' Gay Kiss Is Coming



BY ON TOP MAGAZINE STAFF 
Modern Family Producer Steven Levitan says the show's long-awaited
Over 13,000 fans of the show at the Facebook page Let Cam & Mitchell 
Kiss On Modern Family have been clamoring for an onscreen kiss
 between gay couple Cameron (played by Eric Stonestreet) and Mitchell
 (played by openly gay Jesse Tyler Ferguson) since the show's 
May 5 episode
 titled Airport 2010, in which Cameron and Mitchell were relegated to 
a hug after they argued while heterosexual couple Phil (Ty Burrell) and 
Claire (Julie Bowen) kissed and made up.
Levitan said Monday that the Cameron-Mitchell gay kiss is coming, 
and added that the controversy “bothered” producers who had planned
 a public display of affection episode all along.
“We've had an episode planned for a long time that dealt with that
 subject of [affection between the gay characters],” Levitan said.
Ferguson attempted to tamp down expectations: “Don't expect 
Gone With the Wind type of thing happening, I know the fans 
would like that.”
The men are expected to pucker up on the second season's fourth
 episode.
Modern Family returns to ABC on September 22.
