Posted by Grace | On 6 November,2010 | In Recent Headlines

Katy Perry’s latest music video for ‘Firework’ has been censored for British television.

The clip, which plays out the song’s message of self-belief, shows fireworks shooting from Perry’s chest and two men kissing in a club.

A edit of the promo has since been released to music channels which pixelates out the scenes from the clip.

The video goes on to show a boy being mugged on the street and a cancer patient watching a women give birth in hospital.The official clip on the singer’s YouTube channel has since been labelled for private viewing only.

‘Firework’ is on course to chart within the top on the UK singles chart this Sunday.

    Why do they censor that? They have no right to say who we must love.

    Someone said as a reason ‘children watch tv too’. well, that’s good. when they see this, they can learn it’s something normal. because it is something normal.

    I thought Katey Perry is a christian    why you have to show gay boy kissing to encourage homosexuality??

    As far as I know, and I live in the UK, it wasn’t censored here at all.

    The same paragraph from DigitalSpy has been circulating around the web with no other information, by the way it should read ‘An edit’ not “A edit”.

    I did watch E! which is American on E! channel in the UK, which did have the gay kiss pixelated, but this would have been due to the American broadcast, not because of the UK.
