Red face Forbidden Kisses



I have read about this and noticed that on network television they have alot of women kissing women Remember that Ally McBeal episode. but I have hardy seen any men kissing men.

But when I change it to HBO and ShoTime I see alot of men kissing men.

Why does network tv do this. Are they anti gay men and pro lesbians or something.

I have no idea, but that's really not fair. I don't
think I've ever even seen a man kissing a man
on television. I'm guessing because there's so
many people who aren't bothered by women
kissing, but cringe at the sight of men kissing.
It's sad that there's so much
descrimination. If I was a gay man, I'd be
pissed that I never saw anyone like me on TV.

I think the lesbian kiss trick is an all-time low in trying to get ratings.Friends did this recently.I think Spin City did it too.I mean,most of the time the charactor getting kissed isnt even GAY!Its a straight sitcom chick who gets kissed by a hot guest star on sweeps week!IT MAKES ME SICK!
I remember Melrose Place was supposed to have the first male to male kiss and they censored the ****e out of it!!!!They showed one guy touchin the other guys shoulder.OOOOHHHHHH!!!
Double standards.
well,Homer had a gay admirer kiss him on the Simpsons.Is that progress?!!!!
P.s:Watch OZ....those guys just cant get enough!!!!!

....and Six Feet Under, but that's not network television. Did Ellen have a kissing scene on her show?--I forget. I don't know why people find it harder to see men kissing each other than women, but it's definitely true.

Yeah, Ellen did a lot of kissing. But it has been rumored that that was one of the reasons her show got cancelled. I think that people find it harder for to men to kiss because for straight men two women kissing is a turn on. But for most women two men kissing isn't a turn on. Men are just more perverted.

The Wayans Bros had a gay episode where Shawn & Marlon kissed each other in the mouth. I think there was another male on male kiss but it's been so long since i seen the episode......
