Lesbian Kissing
The first lesbian kiss on network television occurred on the 2/7/91 episode of the legal drama L.A. LAW/NBC/1986-94 which featured a prolonged kiss between two female lawyers -- called a "lesbian kiss" by Gay Activists. The two "perpetrators" were the female attorneys C.J. Lamb (Amanda Donohue) and Abby Perkins (Michelle Greene). The C.J. Lamb character described herself as being sexually attracted to men but also as being "flexible."
This episode was denounced by Reverend Donald Wildmon and his Christian-oriented American Family Association (a.k.a. "The Pervert Patrol") who monitored prime-time TV programs for what they perceive as sinful acts. Later in the series, Abbie asked C.J. on a date ("Oh, My!").
