Note
I watched the ball drop on CNN this year. I thought the whole thing was pretty gay. So, seeing a gay couple kiss right after midnight was in line with the rest of their programming that night, in my opinion. Of course, I didn't even think people would lose their shit over a kiss. I forget the times we live in.
Anyway. Happy New Year!
