Comments on: Hollyoaks: what’s wrong with gay couples kissing? http://blogs.channel4.com/thetvshow/2008/04/10/hollyoaks-gay-couples-kissing/ Just another Channel 4 Blogs weblog Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:42:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: JDL http://blogs.channel4.com/thetvshow/2008/04/10/hollyoaks-gay-couples-kissing/comment-page-1/#comment-937 JDL Sun, 07 Dec 2008 03:28:28 +0000 http://blogs.channel4.com/thetvshow/?p=217#comment-937 There is absolutly no problem with a gay couple who care for each other kissing. This is something I find annoying is when people complain about a same-sex couple kissing, but when it come down to the conventional apparently conforming 'straight' couple no one bats an eyelid. Why should a same-sex couple only show affection post-water shed, if this is the case it should be for all couples no matter what their sexual orientation. This is why I congratulate Hollyoaks on it's portrayal of both gay/bi characters. There is absolutly no problem with a gay couple who care for each other kissing.

That dealt with, bringing other characters like Kieron and Spike into the story allowed the portrayal of normal, fairly angst-free gay relationships, which is so important for young people dealing with their sexuality. I can't see what there is to be offended by - just very sweet loving relationships! Hopefully now Kris and Ravi will continue the tradition into the future...

I think homophobics are afraid of whats different, they cant accept that people like the same sex. I think that its best to be yourself, whether, gay bi or straight.

Loads Of People Find Him Boring And He Killed Kieron So I HATE him like. That man Is pure evil. Maybe he should confess to killing Kieron so that JP can Be Happy. If he told Myra She'd go balistic! It'd be great! Also, JP doesnt Want to be happy now cuz he thought keiron topped himself over him, but he didnt. Just get the truth out! It's breaking my heart watching everyone so upset! Right.
