I am Juliet. My Romeo is gay. At the end of the play there's a kissing scene. So as not to offend his homosexuality I need to learn how to fake kiss. Any ideas?

I would have just kissed him noramlly (closed mouth tho) My best friend who is gay allways pecks me on the lips now and then to show how much I mean to him.

So think about it, your situation is kind of like how it was in shakespear's time. If you really are uncomfortable kissing him, then there is a way to put your hand between your mouth and his, so it looks like your kissing but your really not. It requires practice though.

I've got plenty of gay friends. You aren't going to offend his homosexuality by doing what's required by a role- hell, my boys and I smooch all the time, especially if we've been drinking. You just work it out. It's a Shakespeare kiss, no biggie. [ saucysue's advice column | Ask saucysue A Question ]

He probably doesn't really care about you kissing him because he will know that it's a stage kiss. There's a big difference between kissing him for real and kissing him because you have to.

It is no different than kissing a male actor that you don't know well. Anytime you are kissing someone in such a planned, contrived way as a play, the kiss will be a bit awkward. Overall, he is probably just as nervous as you are b/c it is a new experience for him( I mean acting and kissing on stage). Trust me, in front of all those people you have nothing to fear about offending him with a fake kiss- he won't even be thinking about it, nor will you.

alpha answered Thursday March 11 2004, 11:08 pm: I don't really get why a stage kiss would "offend his homosexuality." It's *acting*. If a scene called for you to kiss a woman, wouldn't you just deal with it and kiss her?
