Myspace Brings Back Gay/Lesbian Preference

Posted by: AJ In: Baklinks| Paano Ba Maging Bakla| Social Networking ()

In the past few months, gay news sites and forums have been discussing the issue of Myspace taking out the Gay/Lesbian option in the Sexual Orientation section of its members profiles.  While updating my not-so-updated Myspace page, I noticed that the Gay/Lesbian sexual orientation is back. We’re up and running again! Whoopteedodee! I guess Myspace listened. Else, they’d have millions of members close their accounts.

The more popular social networking site in the Philippines, Friendster doesn’t have a sexual orientation section in the profiles but the “Interested in Dating Men/Relationship Men” option is good enough. That and the relationship status that many people find very interesting: “It’s Complicated!”

MySpace is soooo 2004. I opened up my MySpace account early that year, but I already had a Friendster account, and later, a Multiply account. Friendster and multiply are gay-friendly and have added a lot of cool features to their sites, whereas there’s been almost zero changes/add-ons by MySpace. just to add, it is owned by Rupert Murdoch, owner and sponsor of a lot of right-wing media outlets (Fox News, etc. ). These days, I hardly open my Myspace account at all.

I had my MySpace account since 2004. I decided to retain it so I can keep in touch with my Friends in the US. In the US, there are more MySpace users than Multiply and Friendster. It was a big issue in the US when users found out that MySpace removed the Gay option in the sexual orientation section.
