MySpace censorship

For the last 5 or 6 months I have had a series of photos on my MySpace profile showing 3 couples kissing - a gay male couple, a lesbian couple, and a heterosexual couple. When I checked my profile today I discovered that MySpace has replaced the photo of the gay male couple with one of their 'Terms of Service Violation' images. They did not, however, replace the heterosexual or lesbian couple images. None of these pictures show any 'nudity' and, from what I can read, do NOT violate MySpace policy. They are certainly not in the same league as some of the trashy shit you see on some people's profiles. The problem here is quite clearly that it was a picture of two MEN kissing.

I believe that this will be the final straw as far as my participation with MySpace. I will not tolerate this type of cowardly, homophobic censorship. I will be deleting my profile in the very near future. MySpace has been increasingly becoming a buggy, insecure tower of babel anyway, so it won't be hard to pull the plug on it.

Update: The censored picture has been returned to my profile and I will keep putting it back until MySpace deletes me. Fuck them and Rupert Murdoch!! I'll fight those bitches until they pull the plug on me!!! ;)
