Men kissing men on TV....a poll

[Lordbenny]

Just wondering really, I have older relatives (80+) who are of a generation that still really can't accept it. Some are of a generation that accepts it and has no problem with it and have changed their attitudes to meet modern times whereas my daughter thinks it's TOTALLY normal.

Do I want to see it? No.

Do I think I have the right to complain about it or think MY opinions should be forced onto other people? No.

With that in mind, I voted for acceptable.

I'm 50 and couldn't give a toss. It's life, move on from this bks.

People are people.

[carlove]

I think it's completely acceptable, however I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me feel a little uncomfortable.

Where do you draw the line?

[FlyingMeeces]

There are plenty of people who'd rather not see anyone kiss on TV, and plenty more who get squeamish only when the gender, appearance or other attributes of the kisser and kissee don't match their preferences (suspect there are many many on here who'd object vociferously to watching a very obese couple snog, for example) - don't think anyone gets a vote on anything, so long as it's not implying dodgy underage stuff or whatever.

How about women kissing women?

If you find that... acceptable then there is only one choice.

I work with the elderly and when they watch TV it's more than often the Men who dislike this. Most of the women don't give a monkeys.

I for one don't give a sh.it myself.

[haggishunter]

I have a remote, it's not my thing so I will change the channel if I want to. I voted acceptable.

[Moonhawk]

I voted "uncomfortable" as it does make me feel a little uncomfortable (no matter how irrational that may be) - but as like another poster above - I also think it is perfectly acceptable to be shown and see no reason why it shouldn't be, my discomfort is my own problem.

Looks like the poll needs another option that combines the first two.

[popeyewhite]

I voted for it's disgusting - but I'm not particularly bothered whether it's on TV or not, and I'm not particularly bothered whether men kiss or not, I just don't like watching it.

[Digby]

Don't really like seeing men do it.

Enjoy seeing women do it.

Don't really care who does it, though.

As a result, I probably find it disgusting to watch (given that's the only option in the poll), yet have no issue with it.

[e21Mark]

Wonder why do some straight men find it so uncomfortable?

[Levin]

'Acceptable'. I couldn't give a toss what someone's sexual preferences are.

Apparently there is a significant proportion of women who find men kissing men...acceptable.

You have no idea how carefully I worded the Google query to find this article.

Completely unacceptable.

(Girl on girl action is OK though)

I remember a few years back there was a show on C4 about some gay chaps, IIRC there was everything from kissing to sex. I can't remember what it was called. Edit: queer as folk.


Anyway, my gran watched it and loved it, my grandad watched it too.

I voted acceptable, it's hardly a shocker seeing same sex kissing.

I was more shocked by Eva on Coronation Street this week
