Stories concerning Home and Away's upcoming gay kiss between Charlie Buckton and Joey Collins are dominating the media today in Australia.

Several sources are claiming that conservative lobby groups have forced Seven into cutting shots which show Joey and Charlie kissing.

However, BTTB can exclusively reveal that these rumours are NOT true.

A source on the show contacted us today to set the record straight, that the articles are completely unfounded and that the kiss will be airing on Tuesday night as originally planned.

Tuesday's episode will be the first time that the worried campaigners, fearing for the morals of youth of Australia, can see if they actually have got something to be worried about. We at BTTB can unequivocally state that they have nothing to fear but their fear.

We all know how the press likes to fill in the gaps, and this is one such instance. Seven have remained firm in their resolve to deliver storylines dealing with wide ranging issues. This is one storyline among many, a love story, which like all Home and Away love stories will have its tender moments and it's heartbreaking ones.

We at BTTB fully support the actors, writers, producers and all connected with the show in standing up to outdated prejudices, which are attempting to sexualise what is, at heart, a very tender love story.
