Like Adam Lambert and Beyonce this year, Kylie Minogue is feeling the effects of Southeast Asia’s conservative ways. Her video for “All The Lovers,” where she’s hoisted atop a growing mountain of shirtless guys and girls (some of whom kiss each other! in a gay way!), has been censored in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. And by censored I mean banned completely. For going gay, yes, but also for its overt sexuality — which is stupid, says the singer. “I think, yes, it’s sexy but I also think it’s very touching and sensual and the message is love,” explains Kylie.

That is the obvious difference between Christian nations. At the same time how many gay men are willing to insult Michael Lucas and protect insane Muslim apologists who believe in fairy tales of pedophile Prophet. Europe is sick and tired of them already. This is not a democracy! Tolerance to the green fascism is nonsense.

Obviously she picked white things … like white underwear, white doves, and white balloons …. is she putting out some symbolism out there? like … that all of us gay straight or whatever should be living together in peace?

Anyone who thinks this wouldn’t be banned in predominantly Muslim countries has there head in the sand.
But, yum, and, great message!

Hi!
im mirza frm dubai!!!
this song isn’t banned here. it comes on mtv and vh1
its one of my favs and they havent cut out or edited any parts of the video.
even katty perry’s firework video isn’t banned here! it comes in its original form, with the gay kiss. take that for tolerance. im not saying that bing gay here is legal. but compared to those other nations, the uae seems to be opening up…
