A new Facebook group has been created in an attempt to get ABC’s “Modern Family” characters Cam and Mitchell (the gay couple with the adopted daughter) to kiss. Cam is played by Eric Stonestreet and Mitchell is played by Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

While the other two straight main couples on the show share kisses all the time, Cam and Mitchell have not.

The producers of the show have released the following statement:

Cameron and Mitchell are a loving, grounded, committed and demonstrably affectionate couple and have been from the beginning of the series. It happens that we have an episode in the works that addresses Mitchell’s slight discomfort with public displays of affection. It will air in the fall and until then, as Phil Dunphy would say, everyone please chillax.

The Facebook user who created the group replied:

I would agree that Cameron and Mitchell are a ‘loving, grounded, committed’ couple. Have they been ‘demonstrably affectionate’? I feel that’s up for debate … I think that exploring Mitchell’s issue with PDA is a wonderful idea for an episode, and I hope that it is handled tactfully and hysterically. It is also my fervent hope that he can get past his issues and we can see these two act as more of a ‘demonstrably affectionate’ couple in the future. While I appreciate the producers’ humor in asking everyone to ‘chillax,’ I hope that I’m incorrect in reading it as a request to STFU. I started this Facebook page because the lack of kissing was starting to become glaring. It didn’t sit well with me, and I thought that others would agree (so far, over 5,000 do!). I did not start this out of anger, and I am not up in arms or even upset with what is one of my favorite shows on television. I just wanted to show the producers that the fans are taking notice, and that we do want more affection, within what is appropriate for the characters.

Currently the Facebook group (Let Cam & Mitchell kiss on Modern Family!) has almost 10,000 fans. What do you think about this?
