An early gay kiss on film, in Intolerance 1916 directed by DW Griffith.

It’s a goodbye between Belshazzar, Prince of Babylon (played by Alfred Paget), and a character known as the Mighty!an of Valor (played by Elmo Lincoln) before Babylon falls to the Persian army.

I’m not completely confident that it’s the FIRST gay kiss on film as the video’s title implies, but its definitely an early one. Maybe someone more versed in queer film history could help clarify?

Anyways the first time I saw this kiss I was a freshman in high school. I was doing homework and had the film open on another tab to listen to the soundtrack. I enlarged the tab right as the kiss happened. Needless to say, I made sure to go back and watch the full film.

What are we to do? To be forced to teach is out of the question. We will not be coerced! Let those who have no abilities, let alone abilities for the medium teach those who also have no ability for the medium. Let those who pretend to be theorists teach. Let those worms swarm about their non-existent Renaissance at the expense of what is Possible.

Gregory Markopoulos, “Message for DW Griffith.”

This is supposed to be DW Griffith, Luke’s old friend that worked at the movie theater... and the artist must have not did a lick of research because DW was like... a teenager and now he is an old man...
