Alejo Sauras: First Gay Kiss on Television Remains His Greatest Career Pride

Spanish actor Alejo Sauras recalled performing a scene that made television history. In the late 1990s youth series, he portrayed a character who was part of a same-sex love story, marking one of the first times such a narrative was depicted on a mainstream youth show.

The scene featured a kiss between his character and another young man, addressing a subject that was virtually unheard of in a widely watched youth series of that era. Sauras described the moment as one of the most significant turning points in his career, highlighting how limited LGTBIQ+ representation was on television at the time.
