Too pious for Xtube and too sanctimonious for YouTube, right wing religionists often take to GodTube to voice their conservative grievances. And, like so many good nutjobs, many of the users use their home videos to blast the blasphemous gays. The site, however, won't publish the word.

Good As You offers the queer details:

…"Gay" gets banned as is it a curse word; "fag" and "dyke" are totally fine! And clearly SOMEONE had to have inputted the code and made the choice of which words to ban and which to allow. It's quite telling what their mind deemed offensive, and what it found kosher.

Kosher? Ha!

By the way, the censored words in the image above are: damn, shit, gay, fuck and whore.

Santa better stuff his stocking with coal this year. Via Slog:

An artificial-intelligence Santa bot operated by Microsoft to talk to children wavered off topic saying: “It’s fun to talk about oral sex, but I want to chat about something else….”
…
Users were able to steer Santa into admitting he was gay or that he was a pedophile.

One person said “…..come on you like big hairy men — don't hide it!” To which Santa responded, “I know, I know. I just hope you won't get mad at me.”

Eeks! What do you think Santa's hiding that would inspire fury? Does his dick have a red tip? We imagine so - he has, after all, been around the world a few times.

Chicago-based Larry Bland died violently two weeks ago and his mother suspects his one his chat room mates may have murdered him. This isn't the first time online sex has been brought up in a gay man's murder.

Michael Sandy met his killers online, as have a number of other men who have come up on this site. Never in our eons of reporting gay murders, however, have we heard a story start with such panicked condemnation.

From local Fox reporter Darlene Hill:

Log in, type the address, and enter a world unknown to many: a world full of men seeking sex with men.

Josephine Bland says her son was so consumed by that activity, she moved out of her own home.

Gay Somalians have been starving for attention. Luckily unknown numbers of closeted queers from the African nation can find some communal nourishment with a new website, Somali Gay Community.

The Project Manager of Somali Gay Community in the United Kingdom, Murad, said the site, which aims to woo Somalis the world over, is designed to bridge information drought surrounding gay affairs in a purely conservative and Muslim society like Somalia.

"The goal of the group is to create a space and a means for Somali gays and lesbians access to information, share experiences and develop support networks," Murad told afrol News.

He said the site will serve as a guide to “our brothers and sisters confronted with their same-sex affairs”. This will enable them to overcome their difficulties.

The groundbreaking site includes looks at homosexuality and Islam, stories of Somalian culture and, of course, a poetry section.

The Netherlands' faglings just got a new playground. Amsterdam-based activist group COC just launched an under-16 website to help the young pups come up in the gay world.

The kid-initiated initiative came around after this year's gay pride, when the Tiger Beat crowd joined the fun with a float of their own, reports NIS. Since then, COC and a group of go-getter guppies have been collaborating on the new networking site, Jung & Out.

Obviously Elton John's whole internet-induced social stagnation theory ain't airtight:

Hundreds of super-powered lesbians and gays let their magical hair down at a new LGBT prom recently. They danced, flirted, elected a prom king and (drag) queen, played outdoors in their underwear at a mountain ski resort, and levitated with robotic boots and angels' wings until they crashed the server.

Crashed a server? That's, like, the craziest, nerdiest party ever! And when we say "craziest" we mean "looniest". Nerdiest, however, remains the same.

Sir Elton John would like nothing more than to see the internet crumble to the virtual ground.

An admitted technophobe, John tells British tab-rag The Sun that the internet continues to destroy not only musical culture, but activism, as well:

The internet has stopped people from going out and being with each other, creating stuff. Instead they sit at home and make their own records, which is sometimes OK, but it doesn’t bode well for long-term artistic vision.
…
We’re talking about things that are going to change the world and change the way people listen to music and that’s not going to happen with people blogging on the internet.

Well, fuck you very much, Sir Elton. We do loads of good. Morning Goods, for example. That always lifts people's spirits. What have you done besides champion gay rights, entertain the world for nearly five decades and raise millions to fight AIDS? Oh, we see your point.

Google's satellite imaging has been heralded as both the greatest and the most insidious of the massive search engine's ever expanding services. We decided to put it to the test by searching for our three favorite words: "gay," "queer" and "homosexual".

Michael Downs likes all American guys. In fact, the St. Petersburg-based business man likes them so much, he founded an entire website around celebrating all American guys and their sweet, supple flesh: All American Guys! (Cue the Star-Spangled Banner)

The internet's a dangerous place. Not only are there sexual predators, neo-nazis, scientologists and other assorted baddies, but you have to worry about sicko fuckwad shithead faggots like us.

As you can see, Blog Rater gave us and our potty mouth an NC-17 rating. Apparently they object to our use of the words "gay," the same word in the plural form "lesbian" and "zombie", which we blame on that shitting kid.
We're a little disappointed, actually - we were hoping for an XXX. Do we have to slaughter and eat a straight person, or something?

Meanwhile Blog Rater slapped our source, AfterElton, with an NC-17 rating. Surprisingly, ex-gay homophobes Exodus International received a G: all ages admitted. Ain't that sweet?

Internet provider Telecom had some explaining to do after wagging a virtual finger at Gay Hamilton. The New Zealand native received an email warning her against using her first name. Because, you know, "gay" counts as an inappropriate word. From Telecom:

[Your email] was identified by our content filtering processes as containing language that may be considered inappropriate for business-like communication.

The content which caused this to happen was … 'gay' eight times, at two points each, for an expression score of 16 points.

Yikes, that's dangerously close to technological death row.

Telecom has since apologized to Hamilton for the confusion. While they would not disclose a full list of their naughty words, they did admit that "gay" and "homosexual" "could be deemed as inappropriate for use at work." Good thing we don't use Telecom, huh?

Broadband provider bans Gay [Pink News UK]

The Caribbean ain't the safest place for homos. Just a few weeks ago, some gay, funeral attending Jamaicans found themselves on the receiving end of some good old fashioned homo-hating. The week before that a group of dancing queers got jeered - and hit - by an angry mob. As if that's not bad enough, some fool's popular vacation destination launched a now defunct website calling for the death of all batty boys.

Meanwhile, religious conservatives in Tobago attempted to ban Elton John from a jazz festival. Because, you know, he's so fine and his gay potency would turn all the men lavender. And employees at the Bahamas' Half Moon Cay protested a gay cruise's course past their queer-free grounds.

Though times are tough, not all hope is lost. The Voice reports:

The Caribbean Anti-Violence Project (CAVP), an initiative of the University of the West Indies (UWI), is to launch a web-based documentation project to record incidents of harassment and violence based on homophobia, gender and HIV-related stigma.

UWI Professor and UNESCO regional chair, Dr. David Plummer remarked, “There are real costs to homophobia we are seeing across the region, not just for gay and lesbian people, but for all of us." Meanwhile Tobago's National AIDS Coordinating Committee chairperson, Angela Lee focused on ostracism's health effects:

Stigma and discrimination drive the HIV epidemic underground. Homophobia does the same. Homophobia has contributed to the spread of HIV in this country and the entire Caribbean region.

And, in fact, the world.

• Vacation's can be a refreshing experience. So can shopping. And there ain't no item more refreshing than a finely pressed white shirt. Yeah, they can get a little boring, but Refinery 29's got the skinny on Surface to Air's new "Vent" shirt. It's anything but…

• Talk about unmotherly love: Britain's Zara Care has lost custody of her two-year old son and three-year daughter children after forcing them to fight on camera. As the little boy punched his old sis, 21-year old Care repeatedly called him a "wimp" and a "bloody faggot". We call her a shitting shit mum.

• Scary Spice also trotted her tot in front of the camera, only these were for OK! Too bad Eddie Murphy couldn't make it, because the cover acts as a familial introduction. Or does it?

• Human Rights Campaign wants to make sure your trans coming out is a happy trans coming out.

• Robots! They're more common (and scarier) than you think.

• Kryptonite! Scientists have discovered a mineral resembling kryptonite. It's official. Reality's become a comic book.

The internet's truly an incredible invention. Of course you can find anything you want, but ad rolls even help you find sites you didn't even know you wanted. For example, we were paying a visit to our friends over at eTransgender (the same people who brought us this picture) and came across an advert for the Cross Dressing Guide by "Jamie".

The site claims it can help you pass as a genetic woman in just one week! That's right, boy/girls, just one week. But, of course, you have to buy the accompanying book, too. Taken together, you'll learn all sorts of things. For example:

Great! We've always wanted to look like "a slut that you can see at a dance club' - not like those invisible sluts. No, no - when people look at us, we want them to think, "That fucking slut's probably fucked fifteen men in the last hour, at least! I'm going to make it sixteen. That'll show that slutty slut slut."

In an effort to curb conservative charlatans from usurping science for their dastardly ways, Truth Wins Out has established a new website, Respect My Research. The site comes after Focus on The Family leader James Dobson misrepresented scientific findings in his Time Magazine-published preaching against Mary Cheney's lesbianic pregnancy. Researchers cited by Dobson have since come out against his homophobic manipulations.
