What was actually cut from the SNIT? The whole thing? :o If so, that's fucking bullshit, and it's discriminatory. Bravo should be sued.

Everything after this shot was cut out. They never even kissed.

My point exactly. Thankyou for posting that.It was a deliberate move IMO to make TS2 look like just more sex.
The whole wonder and freedom of their time on BBM is lost ,and with it most of the whole tragedy of the story.No great love, born from their time on BBM, therefore no great tragedy.
It can't have been the kiss that worried them, because they left a much more graphic kiss in,ie the reunion one.

Well said optom !
Why such sensor, against our democratic values ?
Who was that sensor ?
BayCityJohn:
This really bothers me.
All of the advertising I read for the broadcast was from GLAAD.
I'm not saying they had any knowledge of what would be edited, but it seems like they were taken advantage of.
Here's a quote from GLAAD:
--- Quote ---Friday, June 27 is the television premiere of the 19th Annual GLAAD Media Awards on Bravo (7 PM ET/PT). This will be the first televised airing of the celebration on a fully distributed cable network. "Thanks to our partnership with Bravo, the GLAAD Media Awards will be available to over 84 million homes, giving people across the country a chance to celebrate these media images and their creators," says GLAAD President Neil G. Giuliano. "Our community has made such incredible strides toward equality because our stories have been told in fair, accurate and inclusive ways — from journalism to TV storylines to film. Bravo's acclaimed programming has already shown that TV can portray gay and transgender people fairly and accurately with amazing success." Following the GLAAD Media Awards, Bravo will televise the basic cable premiere of Brokeback Mountain (9 PM ET/PT).

That edit of the tent scene doesn't feel accurate or inclusive, and it sure as hell doesn't seem fair.

So who was the censor BayCityJohn ?
Are we, free persons, going to be blind to that too ?
