#1 on my list of best gay scenes ever:
Cold Case 4x10 Forever Blue, Jimmy/Coop
Top five list here:

This episode is nothing less than groundbreaking, which is saying something given that Cold Case has featured gay storylines in at least two episodes prior to this. This, however, was the first time they've actually showed the two guy
s kissing, on the mouth, on primetime TV, to an overwhelmingly positive response.
Set in the 60s, Jimmy and Coop are cops and partners, and they are secretly in love with each other even though Jimmy is married with kids. Their relationship is heartbreaking -- there are shades of Brokeback Mountain
and the pressure of society at that time cause fractures that eventually drive them apart. I love Coop, who is the dreamer, the one willing to risk it all for what he and Jimmy have; he spoke one of my favorite lines ever, which is where my journal title comes from: "We're the lucky ones. Don't for
get that."
Their flashback scenes are scattered throughout the ep, but I managed to fit nearly all of them in the video clip; the black and white cinematography is gorgeous and the soundtrack is perfect, and I think it is one of the most amazing montages ever filmed.

i don't mean to diss your personal opinion, but since it is a brokeback ripoff, maybe it wouldnt be my #1. but i can't argue that this was beautifully shot and acted. and written. and everything :)
I like the kiss :)
That was cute.
I've never HEARD of this. It was the "Recommended for You" list on my Youtube Homepage >.> So I watched it and obviously liked it.
:) Wow. But ... But ... I'm a Janto fan and a Jack/Jack fan O.O
So I don't know anymore!

Cooper got murdered just for being gay and the murder was set up by his own father no less. I don't usually watch Cold Case, but this is a pretty good episode.
