This happened during the early stages of the opening ceremony in Glasgow.
And a lot of people were very happy.
The kiss was good. Maybe we just have John Barrowman making out with someone for the closing ceremony. #Glasgow2014

Amazing big same sex kiss in the #Glasgow2014 opening ceremony along with @karendunbar147 and John Barrowman taking leading roles.

#Glasgow2014 so far - awesome Gay Kiss, very odd hearing John Barrowman's Scottish accent, Dancing Tea Cakes. So a mixed bag really....
It makes me strangely proud to be Scottish that to John Barrowman can kiss a man on live tv.
A gay kiss in the opening ceremony of a competition featuring half of Africa. We're nothing if not fearless in Glasgow.
Delighted to see a gay kiss on Gretna Green at @Glasgow2014 opening ceremony! #lgbti #visibility
First a gay kiss now multiple gingers on national TV - #Glasgow2014 really is breaking down the discrimination barriers!!!
There were a few nasty tweets aimed at Barrowman after the event, which he retweeted, but he refused to let them dampen his mood.

This graphic was shared widely as well to show the significance of the kiss.
Did you know that it's illegal to be gay in 42 of 53 Commonwealth countries. #Glasgow2014 #2014Ceremony
