EastEnders gets complaints over pre-watershed Gay Kiss

[luce]

It didn't bother me watchin it, but i can see why some people might not want to see it

Okay so if you grew up and had kids, you'd want to hear your son say to you "I can't kiss you because I'll be a gay"? If so I pity you.

They'd have to make the association that being gay is a bad thing if they thought they couldn't do it. If they didn't know what being gay was they wouldn't make a connection between 2 men kissing. I pity anyone who raises their child to be homophobic.

the older generation need to realise that society has changed.
you can be open all you want now and no one gives a ****.

So we shouldn't let our kids watch a TV programme which is usually dignified just because they won't delete the scene of the gay men kissing?

lawl. The first of this is worse imo... and seriously, it's pretty pathetic for people who moan about this.

If they dont make it realist they will yet agian recieve complaints. And as for the kids, then if there paents dont wanna show them that sort of stuff they may aswell sell the TV because every modern programme has some gay/lesbian things in it.

Its not that bad, its society now. Also I read about the phaedophile line, I think its good that they are doing it, it gets through to people that other ways might not and people are complaining. Things like that open our eyes to it.

125 people out the 6/7/8/9 million people that watch it isn't really that much if you think about it.

125 complaints is accually quite a few. May not sound many but you think of the target audiance and how many of them people would know who to complain to and were ect.

We will just have to wait till the next regulators broadcast bullitin and see if there is anything in there about it or if the case is still on going. BBC should co operate with regulator and let them have tapes of the incident ect.

As far as i can see the last thing Eastenders got quite a few complaints about was when tanya burried max alive. It recived 116 complaints to the regulator again saying it was unsuitible for the time of broadcast. The BBC also recived 600 complaints of its own on this case this again showing how many people know who to accually complain to. In the end the case bbc did not get fined ect and just got warned by the regulator. The reason was because the subject was sutible for before watershed just not how they had filmed/edited it ect.

Some people are just pathetic. Its the real world. Men snog! If u dont like it then look away but personally i dont see any difference between a man and a man smooching in public and a women and man smooching!!
And the women who said that her son asked if he was gay because he kissed his dad - well if a dad is full on smooching his son the way they were kissing on tv then id be seriously worried.

So if it was straight kissing before the water-shed that would be fine. Real pathetic.
