Controversies

In 2016, the talk show had a gay guest, who received some hate speech during the show. He was specifically discriminated for being gay by lawyer Garik Galikyan and producer Sargis Mikayelyan. They were both criticized for their hate speech against LGBT people.{{cite web|url=http://www.7or.am/am/news/view/102428/|title=Իրավապաշտպան կազմակերպությունների համատեղ հայտարարությունը "Կիսաբաց լուսամուտներ" հեռուստահաղորդման վերաբերյալ|publisher=7or.am|accessdate=June 16, 2018}} Nikol Pashinyan, the current Armenian prime minister, during his campaign in 2018, noted that "In New Armenia, there should be no show as Half-Opened Windows."{{cite web|url=https://168.am/2018/05/25/957376.html|title=Նոր Հայաստանում "Կիսաբաց լուսամուտներ" չպետք է լինեն.
