Dan Levy went on to further explain how the show is all about the power of inclusivity, however, with the gay censorship, it somehow seems to defeat the whole purpose. He took to Twitter to pen down his thoughts about this censorship.Take a look at the Twitter post made by the actor.
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 https://t.co/3ouNbuetq1

The Schitt’s Creek star went on to make it clear that it is this happens at the channel in India while he also mentioned that this was not the case in American airings of the episode, saying that they on the other hand were respectful and lovely.
I thought I made this pretty clear but for those who are confused, this is about a channel in India. @ComedyCentral in America is not censoring the show. They have been lovely and respectful. Thank you for your time. ✌🏼🙃

Moreover, with this resurfacing on social media, a Comedy Central International spokesperson has addressed the whole issue claiming that the scene was broadcast on Comedy Central India in it was with no edits whatsoever. It was further stated that Comedy Central India completely supports and celebrates the LGBTQ+ community. It seems like while the network has addressed the concern , we wonder what the actor has to say about this.
