Patsy/Delia - Multiple m/f couples on the show have had smooches on screen (for ex, Tom/Barbara making out repeatedly after barely being together). So it's glaring that a couple who wants to get married has not kissed at all (even teasing fans w/the phone booth and cutting out the Gateway Club kiss). Queer characters are still often blatantly censored when it comes to visible physical intimacy. Things will not be satisfactory until we get rid of these awful double standards wherever they appear.
Hey so I totally get that and I wasn’t trying to undermine the importance of representation or the double standard that I do agree is there. I know this will come out as a bad excuse but I’m gay myself and I feel we are doing alright in programming right now. Fair enough, I would like a Patsy and Delia kiss too but I don’t think it’s 100% necessary for CtM, I think other programs like sense8 and ointb have us covered from that side. Granted, Barbara and Tom have got a lot more than we have and that isn’t fair, I do agree with everyone on that front.For me, Patsy and Delia have helped because they’re a gay couple on a family program on BBC. This has helped me because I watch CtM with my family and it brings good conversations about for us. I don’t necessarily think a kiss is needed for this but I would like one, especially because of the double standard in regards to Barbara and Tom.TL;DRI would like a kiss, but I’m not going mad about it because I don’t think it’s the end of the world if we don’t get one. Although I do understand why people really really want it, especially due to the double standard.
