Following much criticism from gay and lesbian groups, Modern Family’s gay couple are finally set to share a romantic smooch.
Producers say that was a mere accident that the couple, played by Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, didn’t kiss during season one, but they plan to make good on it during the upcoming season.

“We’ve had an episode planned for a long time that dealt with that subject of (their being affectionate),” producer Steve Levitan told US entertainment network E!.

“So it almost bothers us that there was a little bit of controversy about it. Because we don’t want to appear that we’re answering that criticism. But sure enough, we’re dealing with public displays of affection, and the power of a kiss. Seems simple, but intriguing – I hope.”

The kiss will air when the show returns to it’s prime time slot in the U.S next month.
