In plays like "Romeo and Juliet" it was normalized for two male actors to kiss each other.

Women were not allowed to be actors then, so men played all the parts. Thus there was a common stage direction that an actor comes in "DRessed As a Girl." Of course nowadays besides DRAG queens there are also DRAG kings, so "DRessed As a Guy/Gentleman" is also valid. | image tagged in theatre,tradition,crossdressing,professionals have standards | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
