Kissing his co-star wasn’t something he felt fully comfortable with
Do we really need to say more about how great certain actors are? That’s the situation with Modern Family’s Cam character Eric Stonestreet. His portrayal of Cam is so convincing that we’re afraid you’ll be shocked to learn that he’s really straight! We salute the show’s creators for being one of the first to showcase an LGBTQ marriage on primetime television. In the first season, there was no tension between Stonestreet and his co-star, who portrayed his partner Mitchell, although Stonestreet was hesitant to kiss Mitchell. There are no smooches shared in the first season of the show!

The actor is perfectly cool with kissing another guy, but he simply wasn’t sure whether he wanted to do it. A humorous episode in which Phil and Claire Dunphy pretend to “pick each other up” as if they were both single! However, the program does regularly allude to (if gently) Phil and Claire Dunphy’s sexual lives. Cam and Mitchell’s personal side is kept out of the performance, but it’s a huge success anyway!
