Italian TV censored "Brokeback Mountain."

ARD would Kissing men censor? Hardly - quite the contrary to their Italian counterparts. The public broadcaster Rai average is two love scenes from 'Brokeback Mountain' out - of course among men. Gay organizations are protesting now.
  Rome - "Brokeback Mountain" 2005 was not only commercially successful film. He also broke with the stereotype of the tough guy whose life is as straightforward as his sexual desire. Ironically from America's mythical figure, the cowboy, he made one of his torn feelings, homosexual man director Ang Lee won the Oscar for best director award and the now deceased Actor Heath Ledger was not only in the gay scene for the Star.
Of course it tears itself as a broadcaster, just as a public service with educational mission, about this movie in its own broadcast channel.
Should you think.
So why the Italian state television Rai on Monday two scenes in which men love, cut out, is therefore hard to understand.
Because much clearer heterosexual love scenes and violent scenes were in the broadcasting of the film on Rai Due not been censored.
Gay associations in Italy have the television station on Tuesday also criticized since. The former left-wing MPs Franco Grillini, figurehead of the Italian gay movement, said: "That is absurd - if you try, from a film, by a large homosexual love tells the story of a simple friendship to men, says a lot about the cultural climate in Italy. "
"Brokeback Mountain", with three Oscars awards, was in the Italian cinema initially only for viewers over 14 years been released.
In May 2007 this restriction was withdrawn, however.
