LGBT PDAs still an issue for the entertainment industries

As the article states, it's still not completely all right to portray gay or lesbian intimacy on television or in programmes.

It is better that yesterday, though..

even here, people are starting to show gay couples in tv soups and stuff..

seems a bit late compared to the other more advanced countries in the matter, but for a Catholic majority country it's a big deal..

One important issue is actual gay actors and actresses feeling more comfortable in coming out, these tendency of the last decade is helping a lot in improving what is seen in tv..

it's not like we're expecting to see porn, but just the same love other "normal" couple get to show in tv

It is not an issue in my country as well, but I find them pretty hypocrite about it.

There's even a soap opera here which just ended called "My Husband's Lover". It had high ratings because the story is really good and no vulgarity. But i still think Filipinos are still close minded when it comes to LGBT. They like shows about gays, etc but they frown if they will know someone is gay. Maybe its because of the church which influences the people that being Gay is a sin.

I agree its better than yesterday. Most people are open about it, but not 100% fully acceptable.

princealbertofb, I find the article is one-sided. It appears to deal with shows on (relatively) free TV.

I've watched some series on pay channels that show much more graphic details (though not pornographic) than I see the straight couples doing it on 'free' TV shows. (Once, I had to watch a lot of shows for broadcasts, and categorize them as part of my work).

Seriously none of the youth I know today watch TV. They have the internet which is TV and more at the same time.
I don't watch TV cos there are too many stupid shows that IMO are just stupid and there are too many retarded people put on the box these days to give a flying fork. Tho Anime is the acceptation >.o
