History

Historical Context

When EastEnders aired the UK's first televised same-sex wedding in 2013, it built on a legacy of LGBTQ+ milestones: the soap featured Britain’s first gay kiss in 1987 and an on-mouth kiss in 1989, while Coronation Street introduced its first regular gay character in 2000 and the first transgender character in 1998. These precedents helped normalize same-sex unions on mainstream TV.
