HOME AND AWAY Kiss Not Censored

The producers of Australian soap HOME AND AWAY did not censor a lesbian kiss between two of the characters on Tuesday night's episode, contrary to the prediction of local news media.

Newspapers belonging to Rupert Murdoch's News Ltd. had taken the lead in protesting the expected kiss, with one of them, the Melbourne tabloid Herald-Sun recently headlining, "Gay TV for kids." The News Ltd. newspapers reported over the weekend that Channel Seven officials had agreed to remove the scene following complaints from viewers

It turns out the kiss was short and sweet (see the end of the clip below). Thank you Channel Seven for not caving in.
