BBC has been flooded with complaints after screening a gay kiss on EastEnders before the 9pm watershed. The ‘offensive’ scenes were screened on Tuesday’s episode of the soap and showed Christian Clarke (John Partridge, 36) and Lee Thompson (Carl Ferguson, 27) engage in a passionate kiss.
In a statement the BBC defended itself by saying it was down to parents to decide whether the content of the show was suitable for children to watch.
‘This is disgraceful whilst young children are watching and sets the wrong example.’
‘I had to explain to my seven-year-old son what was happening. He now thinks he is gay because he kisses his dad.’ Those are some of the letters recived by the BBC. [Daily Mail]
