Does watching Broadway cutie Jonathan Groff looking for sex make you want to actually have gay sex? That’s the big question on the table as Russian officials decide whether or not to let the new HBO series Looking air in their notably homophobic country.
According to Queerty, Russian officials are reviewing the new show about gay buds in San Francisco to decide if it “promotes non-traditional sexual relations among minors,” which could make viewing the show illegal under the country’s Administrative Code, the same law that outlaws “gay propaganda.”
We're guessing the very first scene of the pilot episode, which finds Groff’s Patrick getting a handjob in a park from a stranger, does the trick of keeping Looking out of Russia.
Although ratings are low for the new show, here’s hoping the info above gets you to turn it on. Looking airs Sundays at 10:30PM on HBO.
