NEIGHBOURS STAR TAKAYA HONDA HAS ‘NO DIFFICULTY’ PLAYG GAY CHARACTER

what is the al wh the plete lack of any gay characters eher of the soaps, or any talk of homosexualy what-so-ever! Charlie had a girliend Home and Away, although she has a boyiend aga now, and there is a gay boy Neighbours but I n't remember his name.

Chris has jt e out as gay on Neighbours, problem is that he isn't a ma character and acrdg to reports, they don't know what to do wh the character.

NEIGHBOURS PRAISED FOR ‘SAVG GAY LIV’ BY EMOTNAL ACTOR AS SOAP’S FUTURE HANGS THE BALANCE

Home and Away had a uple of gay characters. Chris, Pippa's son, is gay. The producers of H&A have always said there was no pot tryg to have gay characters G rated shows as the l regardg what n't be shown ma impossible anyway.

This has been discsed many tim on this fom, Atralia is a backward and nservative untry that don't like seeg gay people on tv.

NEIGHBOURS' MATT WILSON APOLOGIS AFTER 'GAY' BACKLASH

I don't thk that gay people should appear any programme jt to tick a box.

I thk there has to be a fair repersentatn of gay/lbian people soaps as there is real life. Atralia is very backward lookg when to portrayg gay people on screen. I have heard that Atralians don't like gay people their soaps as is a very nservative untry and I thk I am right sayg that some stat homosexualy is still banned.

NEIGHBOURS VIEWERS PRAISE RYAN THOMAS FOR HIS GAY SEX SCENE

I'm que suprised that homosexualy uld still be banned certa really bad!!! I agree that gay/lbian people need to be reprented on tv, but not necsarily soaps.

The people that are voved soaps seem to lack creativy or are unwillg to e up wh proper storyl for gay/lbian people. I would like to see a storyle that volv a gay person, but is not about their sexualy, personally I'm sick of the syoryl where g out "is" the storyle. Methodyguy, be sure to let know which Atralian stat ban homosexualy.

“Firstly, who uld fd hard to play gay oppose this credible man? The task we are given is to evoke wh the dience that feelg of love and have them believe that we are love, and that would go whether our characters were gay, straight or other.

The actor’s character, David Tanaka, was part of Atralia’s first televised gay weddg, and Honda reflected on how the long-nng show has helped to tell the stori of those often unrreprented media. “I have been one half of, not only the first on screen gay weddg Atralian history but, I’m pretty sure, also one of the longt nng on screen gay relatnships too.
