YouTube Filtering Draws Ire of Gay and Transgender Creators
New York Times ^ | March 20, 2017 | NIRAJ CHOKSHI

YouTube said on Sunday that it was investigating the simmering complaints by some users that its family-friendly “restricted mode” wrongly filters out some lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender videos.

The statement came after the video-hosting platform faced growing pressure over the weekend from some of its biggest stars to address the issue.

In a statement, YouTube said that many videos featuring lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender content were unaffected by the filter, an optional parental-control setting, and that it only targeted those that discussed sensitive topics such as politics, health and sexuality.

But some of the video creators disagreed, pointing to blocked content that they argued were suitable for children of any age and did not discuss such subjects. They also said that the filtering shields lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender children from the resources and support the videos can provide.

What do they care? Adult filters apply on youtube to opposite gender couples doing their business as well. There is no real obstruction of people watching porn on youtube. They just need to check off as an adult to do it.

this isn’t about equality- it is about SPECIAL rights that the homosexuals demand- they demand that our children have complete access to the deviant disgusting gay lifestyle- It’s not enough that billions of people who don’t use filters to have access to it if they choose to or not choose to- nope- they demand parents allow their kids access to it as well

Society enforces a unidirectional flow of ire when it comes to this subject.

The best one-liner on that, is that The love that dare not speak its name has become The love that won’t shut the h*** up.

Homosexuality is only about deviant ‘sex’. It’s the first thing they bring up, no matter what else they do in life. They shouldn’t be surprised at all. Every day, every week a new tantrum with these people.

The whole thing has become absurd but no one acknowledges it. If you are straight and find homo sex repulsive, you are a hater. If you are gay and find heterosexual sex repulsive (which they all do) it’s celebrated. It’s insanity.
