"Lesbian kisses could be banned from television screens until late into the night under radical Government plans to stop children being exposed to ‘indecent’ images.
"A review launched with the backing of David Cameron is expected to recommend that sexually suggestive scenes currently allowed before the 9pm watershed – such as the famous lesbian embrace on soap opera Brookside – should not be shown until later in the evening. A ban on explicit advertisements on high street billboards is also being considered.
"The inquiry is being led by Mothers’ Union chief executive Reg Bailey [Sic]..."
As this is in The Daily Mail it is - but of course - accompanied by the shocking photo above of some hot lezzas snogging.
As it's in the Daily Mail and quotes someone from the homophobic Mothers' Union (Who is also clearly not a mother) this story is unsurprisingly utter nonsense.
It's an "independent review" - ie all Reg's own work - and has no government backing.
Update: This story was dutifully reprinted on Advocate.com - fast becoming as shit as our own Pink Paper and Pink News on lifting stories from right-wing homophobic papers without questioning them or bothering to check them. FFS!
Update2: The Sun were also mightily vexed about the sexualisation of popular culture - which they proved by printing six sexy photos including one of two lesbians kissing - Won't somebody please think of the children!
Update3: For more on how nonsensical this story is see Fagburn May 3rd.
