Band of Thebes notes that conservative Christian group the Mothers' Union is going after TV, billboard and internet content. Among their proposals is one
to "protect children" from "indecent" images that would ban same-sex kissing on television prior to 9:00pm while continuing to allow images of straight couples kissing and fondling at any hour. The new regulations would de facto mean that the nation's immensely popular early-evening soap operas like EastEnders, Coronation Street, and Hollyoaks, all of which currently feature same-sex couples, could never again show those characters kissing.
