The Sun jumps the gun with claims of London Spy sex 'row'


London Spy: Sun exclusive shot down?

 'Paper claims Ofcom is ‘investigating’ complaints about explicit sex scenes in the BBC drama – but the media watchdog says it hasn’t yet launched a probe'

From this short article explains that a BBC tv show has been showing very explicit sex scenes and been alot of complaints because of this. There were only 13 complaints because of this and yet there were 2.5million viewers, the article states that the reason of the complaints is because of the two men are having sex and it was because of the complaints that it had to into investigation because of this.

The Sun does quote the Evangelical Alliance, an organisation that issued a report in 2012 saying “We believe both habitual homoerotic sexual activity without repentance and public promotion of such activity are inconsistent with faithful church membership.”

From this article my opinion is that the people who did this were homophobes because if you look at the evidence there was nothing wrong with the show when they checked it. Out of small complaints i dont understand why they checked it if only 13 people complained when there was 2.5 million viewers and it would of been a problem if it was a million people but it wasn't just a act of sexuality not being accepted on media.
