Mr. Murdock should be concerned with his plunging advertising revenue. Which will surely shrivel at even a more rapid rate if the homosexuals decide to "BOYCOTT" his periodicals and "MANHANDLE" his sponsors.

LOL who cares, myspace is protecting both heterosexual and homo users. by removing the admission of being gay or lesbian they actually remove the likely hood of homo-bashing abuse.
my advice is that gay/lesbian users should seriously GROW the FUCK UP, theres what? 200million users world wide? yeah i can see News Corp deliberately targeting those 10,000 Gay people in Iowa...i mean seriously the world doesnt revolve around you, wake up. Not to mention the term Gay/Lesbian is offensive to 1/2 the worlds population.. Hindu, Muslim... i mean seriously, can you be any more deluded about your importance

actually...if you'd read the damned comment thread you would have seen that the bug was hastily fixed just now (they replaced "lesbian" with "gay/lesbian). If you look at the shot in the post, you can see what it looked like a few hours ago, as well as Tom's admission of the error.

"Weâ€™re just glad it wasnâ€™t the â€œstraightâ€ option that got pulled: then weâ€™d have homophobic pundits declaring that MySpace is turning our kids gay through the subtle use of preference pages." haha so true. They're lucky whatever technical issue it was happened to affect the gay value and not the straight value. It seems kind of odd to me that a value in the middle (shouldn't it be in the middle of whatever selector box there is?) was somehow omited. Maybe they messed it up in internationalizing myspace for china though.

Not Sure — Thu, 03 May 2007 17:38:32 -0000

Pete Cashmore — Thu, 03 May 2007 16:48:22 -0000

Actually, it was fixed within the last 20 minutes. I had the page open at the time.

Re: MySpace: No Gays for a Day

Mr. Guy — Thu, 03 May 2007 16:42:57 -0000

I just checked... this is not true. Myspace allows gay/lesbian as an option.

Hey I really like the candy coated affect too, I'm probably the smartest gay on the planet. If anyone here wants to help me design my site blipd.com, contact me and I'll give you full credits when we launch. It has nothing to do with my orientation lol, but it is THE NEXT MYSPACE/YOUTUBE type of site of site in influence/size.

Bucho — Thu, 03 May 2007 16:01:50 -0000

you people are making mountains out of molehills, seriously. a technical glitch, that's all. it's not some insidious plan by the head honcho of right-winged retardedness, Murdoch himself, who if anyone had paid attention during the buyout of myspace, doesn't control most of the content on myspace thanks to legal and contractual obligations.

relax. they've still got bi and lesbian, which should prove to any normal, rational person that things are not as anti-gay as people are making them out to be.

you're all ridiculous.

Jason — Thu, 03 May 2007 15:42:15 -0000

It is not suprise to me. If you have a myspace page, you are just a advertising statistic to Newscorp. So why not allow them to determine your sexual preference?

I see this technical problem is a hot potato for some guys :) Don't worry, be happy !
