It could just be me, but the picture on HoYay.Live Action TV looks like a man hugging his son more than anything, and doesn't really do anything to say Ho Yay for me. While I'm sure there's some ho yay in context, I think we could easily find something that illustrates the trope much better than that.

He kind of looks too sad or thoughtful for the trope.

I guess something depicting a more passionate hug or a kiss would be a better option.

Would also help if the two characters looked more or less to be about the same age.

Well, part of the point of Ho Yay is that it's fan seeing homoeroticism where there wasn't any intended. Not being overtly gay would be pretty good.

... wasn't there a pic of Spock and Kirk on this page?

That should move to the subpage, IMO.

Worth noting that the main Ho Yay page has an admin note not to change the image.

Well, after a bit of thought I remembered that Rizolli And Isles is just packed with (intentional) Ho Yay. A quick google search netted a few possible results:

[1], [2] (low quality, admittedly, If someone can get a better quality screencap?), [3], [4] (this one is my personal favorite), [5] (This one, I think works the best, despite the other one being my favorite)

Not better than K&S, I don't think, and there is a note not to change it.

Evidently no progress; closing this down.
