Cartoon Network decided to wimp out and take out a kiss between two gay characters on their new hit show Clarence, replacing it with a watered down peck on the cheek instead. br br In Thursday’s episode, the two male characters greeted each other at a restaurant and kissed each other on the cheek. br br “Originally the guy had flowers and they kissed on the mouth,” tweeted Spencer Rothbell, the show’s writer, when asked by a fan how difficult it was to get a gay couple on the network. Rothbell’s tweets have since been set to private. br br No word on why Cartoon Network lost its nerve. “It’s such a minor throwaway moment but I guess it’s better than nothing.” Rothbell later posted on his Tumblr. br br “Maybe one day the main character can be gay and it won’t be a big deal.”br br ----------------------------------------­---------------------br br Welcome to TomoNews, where we animate the most entertaining news on the internets.
