Tory voters turned off by gay TV kisses

Conservative voters are more likely to oppose same-sex kisses on TV soaps, although they prefer lesbian clinches to gay male ones, a poll says.
YouGov surveyed 2,206 people about their views on same-kisses and their voting habits.
The poll, first reported by PoliticsHome, found that while 53 per cent of those who voted Tory last year said heterosexual kisses should be allowed before the 9pm watershed, only 20 per cent said the same for gay men kissing.
