The Parents' Television Council complained: "The basic cable episode contained a shot of a character's hand going down into the underwear of another character for sexual stimulation..." Jessica Geen writes:
An episode of TV drama Mad Men which featured a gay scene has been attacked by the Parents' Television Council (PTC) which says it should have been given a higher rating. They took objection to the Mad Men episode because it showed a scene between closeted gay character Salvatore Romano, played by the openly gay actor, Bryan Batt and a hotel bellhop. In the scene, the two kissed and touched. The episode was given an TV-14 rating, meaning it was deemed suitable for children of 14 and over. MORE
