Gay SeX Scenes Shock Viewers, Like Gays Have not been Watching Straight Sex All Their Lives
This story was posted at the Guardian but Gay Times UK posted it in a condensed but with details of why make movies that have gay theme stories if you can’t show gays making love. Gays have been watching straights have sex on TV and cinema all their lives and have not become straights yet! Im sure that those who opposed it and get shock have never seen a gay dick before and have no idea of where it goes. Since I have been on both fences let me just add that a gay dick is just as happy as a straight dick when they see what they want. I say let straights watch and learn, they can always ask questions later. [Adam Gonzalez]
The writer of BBC drama London Spy has revealed that he was surprised that people were shocked by gay sex scenes in the show.
In an interview with the Guardian, Tom Rob Smith was asked about the emotional impact that the story had on viewers, including the negative ones.
He said: “I thought a gay love story might not be embraced by everyone, but I was really surprised that Danny and Alex’s sex scene in episode one shocked anyone. It was as mild as I could have made it.
“I was less surprised by the second one [a chemsex orgy] creating a stir, but the two scenes were narrative counterpoints – you needed to see one to fully understand the other.”
Rob was also asked why he decided to take on a story that revolves around a gay relationship when homosexuality still divides opinion.
He said: “I’ve heard executives ask what the point is of having a gay relationship when it’s off-putting to so many people.
“Gay people have been watching straight relationships and been engrossed by them for years. Why would you need to see a mirror version of yourself to connect with a story?”
It was recently announced that London Spy will be airing in the US on January 21.
