WATCH: The Gay “Days Of Our Lives” Kiss That’s NOT Too Sexy For YouTube

An upcoming love scene between Days of Our Lives’ Will Horton and his boyfriend, Sonny, was posted on YouTube, but the clip—hardly risque even by daytime standards—got dinged with an age-restriction label.

It’s actually site users that flag content as inappropriate, leading to a review by staffers, but that didn’t stop the outcry. One YouTube commenter wrote, “Apparently kissing is only deemed “inappropriate” if it’s same-sex kissing. YouTube seems to have a big problem with seeing homosexuality as somehow “offensive”. YouTube needs to join the Twenty-first century. This is 2012, not 1972. ”

Within an hour, however, the age restriction was lifted. Good job everyone!
