TV soap Coronation Street will see an explicit homophobic storyline this autumn for its 50th anniversary.
The plot will reportedly use offensive anti-gay language, with gays and lesbians branded "degenerates" and "unnatural" by one character.
According to the Sunday People, Corrie producers expect an angry reaction to the scenes from some viewers but are keen to show the reality of homophobia.
The plot will see Ken Barlow, played by Bill Roache, meet his long-lost son Lawrence, who will be played by Roache's real-life son Linus.
Roache's other real-life son, James, will play Lawrence's son of the same name.
However, Ken's hopes of a happy family reunion are dashed when he realises that James is gay but Lawrence is virulently homophobic.
