Les droits des LGBT en Grèce: un nouveau cas de censure par l'Etat
Posted by @IrateGreek
La Pride d'Athènes a condamné le jeudi 16 mai, la décision du Conseil national de l'audiovisuel (CSA) d'interdire tous les spots publicitaires de la Pride d'Athènes jusqu'à ce qu'une session plénière du CSA puisse discuter de la pertinence de leur diffusion. La raison donnée par le CSA est le fait que les spots incluent un baiser lesbien.
Il s'agit du deuxième incident de ce type, de censure et de discrimination contre la communauté LGBT dans les médias grecs ces derniers mois. En Octobre 2012, la chaîne de télévision nationale NET avait décidé d'éliminer un baiser entre deux hommes dans un épisode de Downton Abbey. Après la colère des téléspectateurs sur les médias sociaux, surtout sur Twitter avec le hashtag #puritaNET, le directeur de la chaîne Kostas Spyropoulos avait dit que la scène avait été coupée en raison de l'heure de diffusion et de la classification "tous publics" du feuilleton, mais que les rediffusions après minuit comprendraient la scène - ignorant ainsi une décision du Conseil d'Etat en 2003 qui avait condamné la décision du CSA de censurer une scène de baiser gay sur la chaîne de télévision Mega.

LGBT rights in Greece: one new case of State censorship and discrimination
The Athens Pride denounced on Thursday 16 May the decision by the National Council for Radio & Television to ban all Athens Pride publicity spots until the plenary session of the Council can discuss the appropriateness of their broadcast. The reason for given by the Council is the fact that the spots include a lesbian kiss.
This is the second such incident of censorship and discrimination against the LGBT community on Greek media in recent months. In October 2012, State TV channel NET had chosen to edit a kiss between two men out of a episode of Downton Abbey. After viewers reacted angrily on social media, most importantly on Twitter with the hashtag #puritaNET, the channel's director Kostas Spyropoulos had argued that the scene was cut because of the time of the broadcast and the "suitable for all" rating of the show, whereas late-night re-runs would include the scene - ignoring a 2003 ruling by the Council of State which condemned the Council's decision to censor a gay kiss scene on Mega TV channel.
