Schitt's Creek star Dan Levy calls out Indian Channel for censoring same sex kiss; says the show is about the 'power of inclusivity' Dan Levy, who is the co-creator and actor of the Emmy award-winning show Schitt's Creek called out Comedy Central India on Wednesday for cutting out a kiss shared between two men from his show while airing on their channel. Levy retweeted a 2019 tweet by Comedy Central India where they shared a promo for season 5. In the scene , the characters of the show are seen playing ‘spin the bottle’ which also includes a kiss by characters David Rose and Ted Mullens. When Levy noticed that the kiss was censored, he wrote, "You showed the kiss between two women, you showed the kiss between a woman and a man, then removed the kiss between two men? This is a show about the power of inclusivity. The censorship of gay intimacy is making a harmful statement against that message. #loveislove" You showed the kiss between two women, you showed the kiss between a woman and a man, then removed the kiss between two men?
