On this day in 1994: January 14: TV soap 'Brookside' aired the first lesbian kiss on mainstream British TV. Writing for The Guardian, Nicola Stephenson, who played Margaret, said: "It was important to us that this story, of two young girls exploring their sexuality, would come across as relatable and moving rather than oversexualised or titillating." The moment was watched by over 6 million people and was later featured at the 2012 London Olympics during a highlight of inclusive moments in British culture. #OnThisDay #Lesbian #LGBTQNews #BritishTV
