 Facebook has removed two pages from its site set up by the Canadian gay men's retailer Priape. Michael Ain, Priape's director of marketing and sales, says Facebook is treating Priape differently than it does similar pages aimed at heterosexual audiences.
"I've found sites for women in bondage, women in latex," he says to the Canadian GLBT website xtra.ca. "Bondage, whips and chains training is on here. It's all women. I have to wonder if it's an anti gay approach to the same stuff. I have to be curious as to what we're doing in the gay community as opposed to what other groups are doing."
"Around late July they terminated the site without explanation," he says to xtra.ca. "Once they shut down the Priape group we started a fan page. Within a week and a half we had 4,000 members. We were very closely following the Facebook terms of use.
"About a month into it, it was flushed without explanation."
Now the xtra.ca reports that Priape has got some kind of answer: "The content on the Page you created is prohibited," wrote Autumn of Facebook's customer operations.
Has Facebook gone homophobic? or is it one set of rules for gay and another set of rules for straight? Right thats homophobic too (if Facebook didn't know).
MySoCalledGayLife.com are available on Facebook as well.
xtra.ca is one of the GLBT sources that are featured in MySoCalledGayLife.com's Gay Newswire.
