Observe this ambiguity “out in the wild” in this video from comedian Michael Henry — who previously delved into “pretty privilege” and masc/femme dynamics in other riotous clips. His pal in the video? Matt Wilkas, actor, playwright, and star of the webseries Matt & Dan.

Even the “friendliest” of kisses isn’t necessarily lust, as Matt tells Michael in the funnyman’s latest upload: “That was just two good Judys making a public statement that men can be affectionate with each other in public. It’s a form of activism.”
