My [not gay] Space - UPDATED



UPDATE: The MySpace sexual preference bug has been zapped. Conspiracy theorists, take heart: plenty of other MySpace bugs remain.

BoingBoing pal Vann Hall says,

Perhaps along the same lines as the T-shirt reading "I'm for gay marriage only if both of the chicks are hot," MySpace recently made it impossible to select "Gay" as a sexual preference. "Lesbian" and "bi" remain viable choices. [Ed. note: screenshot shown above in this post.]

While I suspect nothing more nefarious than simple bad programming, others (see referenced URL) see this as an expression of Murdochian homophobia.
