MirrorTVNews: RT @flicwrites: Forgot it was the 1980s. C'MON PEOPLE!! @MirrorTVNews: Corrie: Todd & Marcus' gay kiss sparks complaints to Ofcom http://bit.ly/1hkguMd

Charliecondou: 99 of these were from my boyfriend RT @MirrorTVNews: Todd and Marcus' half-naked gay kiss sparks complaints http://bit.ly/1hkguMd

MirrorTVNews: @Charliecondou ha, legend

gogibbogo: @Charliecondou I wrote in at least 5 times.

Nick_Wilson22: @Charliecondou @MirrorTVNews Yet they would be no complaints if it was a straight couple kissing... how boring!

leo_richardson: @Charliecondou @MirrorTVNews 'I don't mind the gays, just don't rub it in me face', I hear them saying.

GothboyUK: @Charliecondou I complained that half naked just wasn't good enough. Put some effort in, go all the way! ;)

quirkykells: @Charliecondou @MirrorTVNews clearly people who have no life and are prudes.. Really have they nothing better to do pathetic.

gaystarnews: @Charliecondou we loved it! 'Complaints made to #Ofcom over gay kiss on #CoronationStreet http://shar.es/Fi2nu'

robwardplazy: @Charliecondou @MirrorTVNews outrageous!! Time for the daily mail to offer some moral guidance...

_Kooper_: @Charliecondou @MirrorTVNews I wonder if instead of a complaint hotline there's one for praises?

lloyd_sceats: @Charliecondou @MirrorTVNews I complained that you had trousers on

HowdyasayNiamh: @Charliecondou But doesn't Marcus say something like "That's never happened before"? I took that as meaning erectile disfunction. No?

aliceinthrabbit: @Charliecondou Interestingly no complaints about seeing Peter and Tina half naked in bed then, presumably also before the watershed? Obviously having an affair with a newly married man is far more acceptable, and easier to explain to children? Don't believe it has anything to do with not wanting their children to see scenes such as these. Narrow minds!! Xxx 

CoroStreetBlog: @jonnygforce @Charliecondou You should have seen the email sent to me from an irate homophobe of a fan. I binned it of course.

Nigel_May: To the people who complained about Todd/Marcus kiss on Corrie...mind if I come round and snog the face off the man I love?

natasha_gordon: @Charliecondou my 6 year old watched Corrie with me that eve and didn't bat an eyelid!!

MarcAlmond: @Charliecondou @MirrorTVNews well we've had Tina and Peter cavorting half naked why not Todd and Marcus. (Good bod Charlie.)

Charliecondou: @MarcAlmond thanks love. It's my openly gay torso

MarcAlmond: @Charliecondou lol X

metamesaloud: @BrunoLangley and @Charliecondou <3 http:="" oxrwjoikum="" p="" t.co="">

definingravity: @flippyoung in corrie Todd and Marcus took their tops off and kissed that's it and people complained to ofcom

pogleswood2: @Charliecondou @corriespoil @MirrorTVNews  I`m sure the cavemen who complained,would keep there mouths shut if it had been half naked women

GLAAD nominees Jane Hill, Sophie Ward and Charlie Condou

GLAAD 

set to honour international LGBTs

 by: 

Dave Chapman

People working in the media around the world are to be recognised for their contribution to equality by US based advocacy group GLAAD at their next annual awards event.

The GLAAD Media Awards recognise and honour media for fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and the issues that affect their lives. British media professionals who have made the shortlist include BBC journalist and broadcaster Jane Hill, actor and writer Sophie Ward and actor Charlie Condou.

The announcement is part of GLAAD's Global Voices programme, which aims to build support for LGBT equality across the globe by sharing culture-changing stories of LGBT people and families in American and international media.

'As we make enormous strides in LGBT equality across the United States, in both policy and culture, it becomes even more important to support LGBT people outside the United States ... it’s only fitting that we honour global LGBT citizens and allies who make a significant and demonstrable difference in our community around the world,' said GLAAD National Board Member Anthony Watson.

Other names short listed for the International Advocate for Change Award include: Boy Abunda (Filipino television host), Manny de Guerre (Russian organiser of the Side by Side LGBT Film Festival), Imran Khan (Indian actor and LGBT ally), Anton Krasovsky (Russian journalist), Daniela Mercury (Brazilian singer), Bishop Christopher Senyonjo (Ugandan clergyman and LGBT ally), Florencia Trinidad (Argentinian transgender actress) and Jin Xing (Chinese transgender actress and dancer).

The award ceremonies will be held in Los Angeles on 12 April at The Beverly Hilton, and in New York on 3 May at the Waldorf Astoria.

The full list of nominees is available here.
