Straight dudes make out on live TV for charity and raise $50,000 instantly
During a live fundraiser for flood victims in Australia over the weekend, TV host Grant Denyer and sports reporter Ben Fordham, both married to women, made out.
And they made a killing, too.The guys appeared together on the Australia Unites: Red Cross Flood Appeal broadcast Saturday evening when someone called in from an unnamed corporation to pledge $50,000… but only if they “pashed.”“What does ‘pash’ involve?
Are we talking mouth open, closed?” host Amanda Keller asked. That’s when Denyer looked at Fordham and asked, “Are you up for it?” And what happened next, well, why don’t you watch for yourselves…The liplock was meant to be in good fun, but not everyone felt so.
Interestingly, it wasn’t homophobes who took issue with it, like you might expect. It was… LGBTQ people.One particularly sensitive Twitter user by the name of @NicoleMugford said she was “uncomfortable” with the whole thing because it trivialized same-sex relationships.“I’m uncomfortable about the way that men kissing men and people cross dressing is being encouraged as a joke for charity on the Australia Unites,” she wrote. “Please don’t mock and joke about these things in the name of entertainment.”I’m uncomfortable about the way that men kissing men and people cross dressing is being encouraged as a joke for charity on the Australia Unites.
