Line 42:
* [[The BBC|BBC America]] took a lot of stick for the edit job they did on Series 3 of ''[[Skins]]''. Cook and Effy graphically rutting in a closet? Fine. Naomi and Emily sharing a tender scene by the lake? Cut to fuck.
* Italian Network Rai2 has aired ''[[Brothers and Sisters]]'' at ''21.55'' because of ''homosexual content'' while airing way racier shows (why, hello ''[[Desperate Housewives]]''!) at earlier times. This baffles the mind.
* This is why Willow and Tara were together for a season before kissing on ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. This may have actually helped -- thehelped—the writers were forced to find other ways to show their love and affection for each other.
* Invoked in-universe in the season 3 episode of ''[[Glee]]'' 'Heart' Where Principal Figgins stops newly out couple {{spoiler|Santana & Brittany}} when they are about to kiss in the school hallway as other students might find it offensive. {{spoiler|Santana}} is quick to point out how unfair this is, citing Rachel & Finn as an example and eventually leaves the office in an angry huff.
 
Line 64:
* The English dub of ''[[Transformers Energon]]'', while not really that great to begin with, made a ham-handed attempt to edit out Mirage/Shockfleet's obvious [[Subordinate Excuse|love for his leader]]. Unfortunately for them they could only bring it down to [[Ho Yay]] levels, as there's no real way to rewrite a blossoming pink heart behind Mirage's transformation sequence after {{spoiler|discovering Megatron was still alive}}.
* There was a spin-off of the PBS television show ''[[Arthur (animation)|Arthur]]'' starring Buster. [[Everybody Remembers the Stripper|It is remembered for little more than the fact that one episode got banned for showing an (implied) lesbian couple]].
* The infamous gay marriage episode of ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' (season 16's "There's Something About Marrying") became the first ''Simpsons'' episode on American TV to get a content warning before the episode started <ref> On FOX, content warnings are reserved for just the [[Seth MacFarlane]] cartoons -- ''[[Family Guy]]'' and ''[[American Dad]]'' especially -- and the oddball shows like ''Bob's Burgers'', ''Allan Gregory'', the short-lived series ''[[Sit Down, Shut Up]]'', and the cartoon adaptation of ''[[Napoleon Dynamite]]''</ref> and was rated TV-14 for strong sexual themes (in this case, gay marriage). This is coming from a show that regularly contains child abuse, gambling, death, alcohol abuse, juvenile delinquency, sex, and humor that is usually considered cruel or dark.
