That's fair enough but you don't appear to be disgusted by the idea of 2 people of the same sex kissing.

I really don't have anything against people who don't wish to see gay couples kissing on tv. That's their problem as far as I'm concerned.
It's the people who wail about how 'disgusting' it is and then claim that their opinions are being "silenced" that get to me. Evidently, nobody has silenced your opinion if you have been able to post it freely on a public forum, and we are not "bigots" to point out that your opinion is offensive and hateful to many people. Some people seem to think "free speech" gives them the right to say whatever they want without being challenged. Sorry but it doesn't work like that. |

Whatever.
This is our opinion only. It is NOT a fact. I think some people on here are horribly prejudiced and bigoted, and it's not the ones who don't wanna see gays kissing. Some straight people feel uncomfortable seeing gays smooching. It doesn't make them homophobic or bigoted or nasty. So stop making out it does. |

I would imagine some people would have complained if it had been a heterosexual couple kissing and getting passionate, would they then be called Heterophobic?

Shouldn't be shown on TV at prime viewing time though, when children are watching. Should be after the watershed.

I think it's very representative and refreshing to see gay relationship issues and my kids (5 and 1) were tucked up in bed - it's not like this was on CBeebies! |

People were objecting *specifically* because it was a gay couple, not because of the kissing. Therefore it is homophobic.
Because without doubt it's got people talking about corrie and that is what TPTB at corrie want.

If gay kissing on tv offends somebody that's their problem not mine. People are entitled to their garbage opinions. However, if they wail about how "disgusting" it is on social media/this forum then they have to expect that some people will react to that. |

But get one thing clear, they are not a gay couple. One is gay, but Bruno Langley (Todd) is having to act the part because the scriptwriters have made him. Same with the Webster girl and the actress who plays Kate. Same sex kissing is not something every actor would look forward too, and with so many gay actors in the trade, if intimate gay scenes are required why do they not recruit gay actors? |
