This article documents the progression of male on male Gay kiss on US and world television series.

This article includes Drama, Comedy Dramas, Miniseries, Animated Cartoons, Reality TV, Plays (aired on TV), and TV Shows on Streaming Platforms.

This article includes Award Ceremonies aired on TV, but as a separate list at the end of the article.

This article includes Advertisements aired on TV (including banned), but as a separate list at the end of the article.

This article includes Web Television aired or not aired on TV, but as a separate list at the end of the article.

This article does NOT include Movies, Movies (aired on TV), Animated Short Films, or other formats of media not aired on TV.

This article does NOT include Lesbian kiss, besides a few selected historically significant ones under the LGBTQ+ Kiss Milestones.

For the complete list of Lesbian kiss on television series, see the article Lesbian kiss episode.

This article includes kisses between transgender-male and male and between transgender-male and transgender-male.

The two important qualities of a kiss evaluated in this article are being Passionate (P) and being Consensual (C). A passionate kiss refers to a quality kiss that is not too short, too soft nor too vague. A greeting kiss or a kiss on other body parts are not considered passionate for this list. A kiss between two straight males that involves no romance ingredients is not a passionate kiss. A consensual kiss requires both parties to consent and enjoy the kiss. Plot shows one party with hesitation or absolutely no preparation for the kiss renders the kiss nonconsensual.

Possibly consensual but not passionate examples: a cheek kiss; a short greeting kiss; a kiss between two straight males; a public stunt kiss

Possibly passionate but not consensual examples: a long kiss that induces ambiguous emotions or troubling feelings on one party
