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

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

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.

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.
