Gay kiss censored out of Katy Perry's Firework video
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/ne...-censored.html
For UK audiences. What do you think? I think it's wrong as they wouldn't do it if it was a man and a woman |

I think its abit daft seeing as the gay kiss in Christina Aguilera's 'Beautiful' isn't censored, nor is the lesbian kisses in Lady Gaga's videos for 'Lovegame' or 'Telephone' or The Black Eyed Peas' 'I got a feeling'

I'm not gay, but I think it really adds to the meaning of the song, just as it did in Christina's 'Beautiful'. Taking it out of the video is nothing short of homophobia.

I think it's pretty shocking, I thought we were supposed to be moving forward not backward.
What kind of message does that send out? "Oh I'm sorry, we think being gay's wrong so we're cutting it out of the video." Ugh. |

for UK audiences?...If I remember rightly, the gay kiss in christina aguilera's beautiful was censored in the US but not over here.
I think it's very very sad. there's no reason for it to be censored. Editing it out just gives the message that being gay is wrong, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with being gay.

Its so stupid, and it actually makes me pretty mad. Its such a crucial part of the video that so many people can relate to and its just ridiculous as its sort of going back on the point of the song. Why sensor it on a music video when theres gay storylines going on in soaps and other tv shows etc? I don't get it

What perfect ****ing timing, you utter morons.
Great message you're sending out there amongst the endless stories of gay teen suicides. What makes it even more idiotic is that the gay kiss has been left in 'Beautiful' for years, and that got a lot more screen time. I honestly hope heads roll for this. It's really, really wrong. |

But ... but this is the United Kingdom we don't censor things like this. Who ever censored it needs to eff-off to the US and leave the UK music industry alone asp.

![]() She better kick up a ****ing storm. To be perfectly honest, I'd have preferred them to just ban it. Pixelating it sends out a more hateful message I think, oddly. |

It disappoints and saddens me that this is happening in the UK version. I'd feel the same if it happened anywhere else, but I suppose it sort of gives the message that the UK aren't accepting of the gay community.

What a ****ing joke, as a gay person I'm disgusted that they'd even try to filter this out, its basically a kiss, nothing sexual. This is sick... the state of homophobia in this world makes me sick, just... so frustrating.

So who's actually done the censoring? Who's responsible? We need names...

Call me cynic but this garnered the artist far more attention than the music alone would ever have.

i saw the video on chartshow tv a couple of days ago, and it wasnt censored at all. if they really have made the decision to censor the video, then i think its completely and utterly disgraceful! not to mention the fact the original video gives so much more meaning to the song.
im shocked and pretty speechless to be honest! |

Why have they censored it? I don't understand this, it's ridiculous. I hope Katy stands up for the video.

Absolutely disgusting, and actually goes against the positive message of the song. Whoever made this decision should be ashamed of themselves

Completely ridiculous, does anyone know where I could email/send a letter in complaint? How can they suddenly have this issue once again, and be soooo hypocritical with all the other types of music videos out there?! Even another of Katy Perrys songs- California Gurls, with the cream coming out of her bra- I would find that more offensive/unsuitable for children to see- and I just watched it- that kiss wasn't even a proper kiss anyway!!! Its only a kiss ffs!
