Academy Award-winning movie Wings, which premiered May 19, 1927 in San Antonio, Texas, has one of the first on-screen same-sex kiss between two men. Charles 'Buddy' Rogers played Jack Powell, and Richard Arlen played David Armstrong, two fighter pilots in WWI. During David's death scene, Jack kisses David on the cheek before David passes away.
Although the two characters are not gay and spend the movie fighting over the same women, the scene is touching with the two men caressing and holding each other in their arms.
