JaggedMonster 2 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Cartoon Network allegedly censors attempts by writers on its hit show ‘Clarence’ to feature a full-on kiss on the lips between two gay characters. Cartoon Network has allegedly censored attempts by writers on its hit show Clarence to feature a full-on kiss on the lips between two gay characters, according to a report by the Huffington Post. In an episode of the animated series broadcast on Thursday, two male characters kiss each other on the cheek as they greet each other at a restaurant. “Originally the guy had flowers and they kissed on the mouth,†tweeted the show’s writer Spencer Rothbell when a fan asked how hard it was to get a gay couple on the network. Rothbell, who also voices the main character, has since made his tweets private. Cartoon Network hasn’t commented yet on what prompted it to change the original scene in the episode entitled “Neighborhood Grill.†“It’s such a minor throwaway moment but I guess it’s better than nothing,†Rothbell later posted on Tumblr. “Maybe one day the main character can be gay and it won’t be a big deal.†https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M659_ak3K_8 http://www.awn.com/news/cartoon-network-nixes-gay-kiss-clarence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sia 314 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Finally seeing some changes instead of these thick skulled idiotic people thinking that being gay is so tragic. Like we could be worrying about other things, other than two woman or two men kissing/ having a relationship. Like good the F*ck bye society. I mean people are dying from sickness and starving to death and the government is up our a$$ about how gay should not marry, and other sh*t . i made a pun Don't be insecure if you heart is pure, you're still good to me if you're a bad kid baby.

LibraLove 1,279 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Adult swim ? I watch that when it comes on at night. Like around 8 PM. But throughout the day I watch Adventure Time, The Amazing World of Gumball, Regular Show, occasionally the new Teen Titans, and I just recently started getting into this show.
