  • FaceBook Apologizes to the GAYS… [STATEMENT]

    Apr, 19 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Facebook ruffled a ton of homosexual feathers last week when they declared pictures of same sex kisses offensive and removed the images.

    Now the popular social network has issued a formal apology to the creator of an event that protested their actions.

    Details below:

    The photo above was pulled by Facebook as violating their policy. It originally went up as part of a same-sex kiss organized to protest a homophobic pub in the U.K. and apparently the event page got yanked along with the photo.

    A protest page was put up amidst the scandal called “Kissing is Cool” and it has accumulated over 40,000 participants in the few weeks since it’s creation.

    The organizer of the virtual protest shared FaceBook’s apology via their event page today:

    “The photo in question does not violate our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities and was removed in error. We apologize for the inconvenience.”

    The event has been mostly a success. It has been found to be based on half truths as you can see on all the links posted. People respond to what they hear and see. Even though some of it turns out to be false.

    The event was based on good intentions and remains so. No one should feel uncomfortable showing affection for someone they love. A kiss in friendship, in greeting, in departing and most importantly in love isn’t wrong. Be comfortable with who you are and who you love.

    Thank you everyone for participating I would encourage you to keep the event going until the 27th. Post the pics for those who can’t.

    I really didn’t see what the big deal was in the first place. Maybe I’ve just been desensitized to men on men kissing… *shrug*

      Gays control so much behind the scene. You see how fast Kobe ass had to apologize and Isaiah Washington can’t get a cameo on a cheesey Vh1 reality show since he made his gay comment

      Why is weezy’s pic included with the likes of bisexing Amber and Kanye g.a.y. a$$ and those two obviously in lust white homos? Birdman is like Weezy’s father and they embrace in a family way and peck each other on the cheek but them two whie boys be all up in each other’s behind and we can guess what Amber did to earn that $1 mill hush money. Take Weezy and Baby outta there…one of these things is not like the other. LOL

      True dat…them g.a.y.s ruined Mr Washington’s career big time. But the messed up part is that he can’t even get work in black hollywood. What’s up with that? When we start dissing our own people cuz of what some white/politically affiliated g.a.y. folk say? SMDH
