Italian television network RAI censors gay wedding episode of A Cyclone in the Convent

OnTop magazine says that Italy's public television broadcaster RAI1 refused to air Romeo and Romeo, an episode of a German television series A Cyclone in the Convent, in which two men marry in a Catholic convent, according to Italian daily La Repubblica.

“[T]he series is too long, we had to pull out one episode,” said Mauro Mazza, the station's director responsible for censorship. He added that had the marriage been held at a city hall there would have been no problem.

["Huh?" AKSARBENT opines. If the marriage had been held in a city hall, then the series would not have been too long?]

In 2008, RAI censored sex scenes in Brokeback Mountain.
