The 92nd Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade proved to be historic not only for its chilly weather but also because it showcased the parade's first same-sex kiss to be televised.
During a performance of Broadway's new musical 'The Prom', actresses Caitlin Kinnunen and Isabelle McCalla kissed on the live NBC broadcast.
The moment is also said to have been the first same-sex kiss to have been broadcast during the Macy's holiday event.
The musical follows a lesbian girl who is denied the opportunity to bring her girlfriend to prom. The couple is then helped by a group of eccentric queer Los Angeles actors.

He added: 'So proud. So Thankful.'
The kiss was also captured the day before while the cast rehearsed for the performance.
Folks watching the spectacle from their personal devices were split when it came to their reaction to the kiss, with a majority of those on social media supporting the moment.

One user exclaimed: 'YESSSSS NATIONAL TV KISS!!!LETS GO LGBT’S!!!! IN THE PROM WE STAN!!!!'
Actor Andy Mientus shared the same sentiment and added: 'GAY KISS ON THE #MacysDayParade TWENTYGAYTEEN AT FULL POWER #TheProm.'
'I can’t stop thinking about what watching The Prom’s performance meant to so many young queer people today #MacysParade,' another user stated.
But there were those who made comments insinuating that children would not understand sexuality. Other comments, were just downright homophonic.

Their criticism was easily mocked by those who pointed out Broadway's proximity to LGBT life in New York and those who recognized the importance of talking about sexuality during the holidays.
One user said: 'Just got chills seeing The Prom on the #macysthanksgivingdayparade so important to see that kind of representation, especially on a holiday where many people are turned away from their family for who they are.'
Another added: 'thank u @ the prom for making all the conservatives angry ur doing amazing sweeties.'
'It’s interesting to me that the prom’s entire storyline is based around how intolerant the Midwest is and that happens to be the same people angrily tweeting about the parade kiss,,,,,,, huh,' a different user said. 'It’s just hilarious to me because the people crying about how they don’t want their kids “seeing that” are just proving the point of the show’s entire message.'
One user summed it up and stated: 'do the people complaining about the prom realize that bway is quite literally like the gayest thing ever
The Prom opened on Broadway this month.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
