MySpace... you can't be gay anymore?
Read on a blog that MySpace recently removed "gay" as an option for sexual orientation. I, of course, thought this was bogus, but then I went and checked my profile options and I was now listed as a lesbian. Although my public profile still says gay...
Anyone know more about this?

hahaha thats funny!
im guessing they have tried to fix the fact that there never used to be "lesbian" - it just used to say "gay" but it would come up on girls profiles as lesbian if you selected the gay option. sounds like they have tried to fix that but ended up with the problem the opposite way round.
--i used to be a tomboy, now im a full grown lesbian--

For us lesbians it's great!
For us lesbians it's great! Because it acknowledges that we are LESBIANS! but they are probably working on changing it some more so there is gay, lesbian bi etc. or like homosexual instead of lesbian or gay.

WTF? I would think they would realize that when they updated the site. Hopefully it's a glitch, and if not, there's going to be hell to pay.

Gay > Lesbian?
I, for one, would prefer to be referred to as 'gay' rather than 'lesbian', even though I'm female. But I suppose that if EVERYONE is a lesbian now, I'll have to change that opinion... :)

Tom wrote me back, says they are working on it.

aw crap
If I put in gay I want gay to come up, regardless of whether or not I'm female, you know?
I guess it goes beyond tom jeff...
Apparently, the guy that owns the myspace domain is a known homophobe and anti-gay activist, so he had the 'gay' option removed...what's weird about that, if it's true, is that he is basically a hypocrite...it's ok for girls to be gay/ lesbians, and ok for ppl to be bi, but gay? Fogheddaboudit.

Lets hope
Lets hope hellonwheels is wrong about the domain owner changing it I don't have or even like myspace but if they deleted gay out of ignorance then thats complete bull.
Hmm...
It says "Gay/Lesbian" as an option today.
