* GenderFlipped by ''Series/DawsonsCreek''. The Season 3 finale, which indeed aired on May 24, 2000, featured the first "passionate" gay kiss on primetime television. ...It was all of a half-second long, due to a combination of the kiss needing to sneak past the radar, actor Kerr Smith's voluble discomfort at being asked to play a gay character, and being the source of the "Dawson crying" MemeticMutation.

* Parodied in ''Series/{{Ziwe}}'''s "Gay Pride!" episode, in which a "groundbreaking gay kiss" set to appear at the end is repeatedly hyped over the course of the episode, only for the actual kiss to be between a (lesbian) woman and a (gay) man, which Ziwe (in-universe, anyway) believes is more original and controversy-generating than a same-gender kiss.

* While undercover investigating the murder of a lesbian teacher, Officer Judy Hoffs is kissed by a girl in the ''Series/TwentyOneJumpStreet'' episode "A Change of Heart", leading Judy to ask herself a few questions until the end of the episode after which it is never mentioned again. It pre-dated the ''L.A. Law'' kiss episode by a year but managed to avoid the press and public attention that episode received.

This is an AlwaysFemale variation on TonightSomeoneKisses where a straight or BiTheWay female character kisses another woman (usually a tertiary character or one-episode guest star). The long-term implications are generally negligible and the female regular characters [[BaitAndSwitchLesbians remain straight]]. The non-regular's remaining screentime in the series will generally be measured in minutes rather than hours or seasons. This is all assuming, of course, that [[NeverTrustATrailer the whole thing isn't taken entirely out of context]], and the footage taken from an AccidentalKiss, FakeoutMakeout or, worse, ImagineSpot.

** Season 2 had a gender-flipped example where Joaquin kissed Archie in a promo. In the actual episode, the kiss was the farthest thing from romantic or titillating -- Joaquin, while gay, kissed Archie only to distract him long enough to stab him on someone else's orders (long story).
