someone explain to me why the myspace "gay" post was taken down?
[info]invidious_life 3rd-May-2007 01:41 am (UTC)
In a strange turn on MySpace, you are no longer allowed to claim that you are gay. The option has been removed for some reason from the Life Style section. Many are up in arms about this change and would like it remedied at once.

If you go to the Background and Life Style section, you will see that the options that you can choose from are, "Bi, Lesbian, Straight, Not Sure, or No Answer." The, "Gay," option is no longer present. This has many in the Gay Community up in arms about the issue.

There are a few possible explanations for this. It was reported in March that two hackers were going to be spending the month of April hacking into MySpace.com in an attempt to show all of the security problems with the site. This could be an offshoot of that issue.

MySpace.com has also gone through many revamps over the last few months. This issue could be caused by an oversight on their part.

Many Internet sites are claiming that Rupert Murdoch himself is causing this problem. The billionaire owns Fox, which owns Fox Interactive Media, which owns MySpace.

Murdoch is a self-proclaimed homophobe who has stated that he would love to see a ban on anything having to do with homosexuality. He has made numerous speeches about his beliefs about homosexuality and has come under constant fire from the
Gay, Lesbian, Bi, and Transgender Communities.

Many users have reportedly sent notifications about this error over the last 24 hours. There has not been a response from Tom, or any of the other leaders at MySpace. Tom did release a statement a few hours ago, but that was about an Internet rumor that was stating that MySpace was shutting down, or going to start charging users.

MySpace has come under more and more fire over the last few months because of mounting concerns and problems that many of the users are facing. According to MySpace, they are doing what they can to remedy these problems. Among the problems are the slowness of the site, and the fact that the site constantly is plagued by error messages.

If MySpace.com does not respond to this issue quickly, many of its users may start accusing the site of homophobic actions. It is strange, though, that the, "Gay," selection would go away, but not, "lesbian or bi." The reader is allowed to draw any conclusions possible from this statement.

MySpace Announcement

Tom
Latest Update: May 2, 2007 12:30pm, PST

seems like there's more rumors than usual that i'm closing the site or going to start charging for myspace. not true foo'! don't believe what you read in bulletins and rumors.. if there was something important to tell you, i would post an announcement.

oh and some people have asked about the missing orientation option for "gay" on edit profile. that's a bug that should be fixed later tonight... no, myspace does not hate gay people.. duh.

Why do you think he can't sing and what do you define good singing as? I'm not trying to be an asshole, just curious.
