Gay yuri on ice

In episode 7 of Yuri on Ice, our main characters kissed — with an obscuring caveat — but as I’d argue with most sports anime, kissing is probably the least gay thing that happens. I feel like.

I'm gay and what I see between Viktor and Yuuri is genuine desire that has yet to be fully expressed, which I think puts it above the level of queerbait. I disagree with those who say Viktor and Yuuri are actually in a real relationship, but I think it's pretty clear that they mutually admire one another and that their character development is.
