Gay kiss good for British soap

Long-running British soap EastEnders got a boost in the ratings last week as viewers tuned in to catch a controversial gay, interracial kiss. An estimated 7.9 million viewers checked out the action on Friday as Syed Masood, a Muslim coming to terms with his sexuality, kissed openly gay character Christian Clarke.

The Guardian said the kiss helped EastEnders beat out all the competition with an average of 7.6 million viewers and a 38% percent audience share between 8 and 8:30 p.m.

Muslim leaders were offended by the decision to make Masood gay.

"There's a lack of understanding of Muslims already and I think EastEnders really lost an opportunity to present a normal friendly Muslim character to the British public,” Asghar Bokhari of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee told the BBC.

What does Asghar Bokhari means? Now being gay, this character can't be portrayed as a normal friendly Muslim anymore?

We get lots of gay kisses these days in soaps.

I don't really watch soaps but Hollyoaks (Channel 4) covers every aspect from 2 guys, 2 girls, Bisexuality, and even cross-dressing! It's aimed at the teen end of the market & it only seems to feature the best looking people (well, for the most part), the only reason it's worth watching :p They show this at 6.30pm too! We do have quite liberated mainstream TV in the UK and have for some time.

Ugh. Please, not Torchwood.

As for the EastEnders kiss - it's actually rather tame and gets cut off, I wasn't exactly wowed by this one. (And the storyline from what I gathered from this scene is eerily similiar to the gay storyline German daily soap Alles Was Zählt had in 2007.)

I coulda sworn i saw the eastenders gay love couple like ages ago. But anways i don't see why it damages the muslim image in anyway. In truth muslims have had homosexuality a lot more than one would think. This is mainly due to the way they seclude and treat the women. THerefore many times the boys, who only see each other take to committing homosexual acts....and homosexual/closeted grown men take advantage of the youths...
