Channel Nine’s program ‘Married at First Sight’ has often been criticised for trivializing marriage and commitment.
Now the new series of the show has put a gay couple at the centre of it’s advertising campaign.
(Except it can’t because same sex couples can’t get married in Australia, but that doesn’t matter because none of the weddings on the show are real anyway)Psychologist John Aitken, who appears on the show, told the Australia News Network that including a same sex couple in the show was exciting.
Sure, some might argue that by including a same sex couple in the show millions of Australians who tune in might get their first glimpse of gay romance.
Here’s where stupid TV shows can show that advocates of marriage equality, and those worried about letting same sex couples into the club, actually have a lot in common.
