Oops.

From Dangerous Minds.

 Setting the facts straight on Facebook:

 

 It turns out that the Facebook event for the John Snow Kiss-In was not blocked by Facebook, but made private by the creator of the event itself. Paul Shetler, the organizer, left this comment on the previous thread:

“Hey I just saw this. Before it goes too far, I just want people to know that FB have NOT removed the kiss-in event page; it’s still there, but _I made the event private after the event_ was over and only visible to those who had been invited as there were starting to be trolls posting abusive nonsense on it.”

Well, there's really only one thing to be said here:

 

 

“Nevermind!”

Old News:

From the Advocate:

A photo of two men kissing that was posted on a Facebook page protesting a London pub’s decision to eject a same-sex couple for kissing has been removed by the social networking site, prompting a flood of photos depicting same-sex couples locking lips.

Apparently it was just too naughty for Facebook. They said: “Shares that contain nudity, or any kind of graphic or sexually suggestive content, are not permitted on Facebook.” Wow. That's some graphic imagery. Heterosexuals never post pictures like that on Facebook, I'm sure.

This prompted me to contemplate posting a pic of my ex and I kissing. But unfortunately, I know he'd kill because he's still closeted to some Fundie relatives he is friends with on Facebook. And I don't need trouble with the ex.

So I just uploaded the banned picture to my own Facebook page. Take that Facebook. I'm not the only one:

The decision to remove the photo has prompted scores of people to post their own pictures of same-sex couples kissing in protest — dozens in the last few hours alone. Facebook has yet to respond to requests for a comment from administrators overseeing the page.

 

Update: I'm sure they'll be working on getting rid of this smut, right way.
