Dan Levy, the co-creator of Canadian television sitcom Schitt’s Creek, has criticised India’s Comedy Central channel for censoring a kiss between two male characters in the show.
At the recent Emmy Awards, the show received many accolades and has been a fan favourite in Canada and the US for its positive portrayal of LGBT+ relationships.
Levy, who also stars in the show, believes that Comedy Central India’s censorship of a gay kiss will have a harmful impact on the show’s message of inclusivity, and is especially hypocritical as a kiss shared between two women on the show was not censored.
