A message received by a blogger at DangerousMinds.net who says that a photo he posted of two fully-clothed men kissing was removed by Facebook. The photo reportedly appeared on Facebook as part of a group event that called for a kiss-in at a London pub where two gay men on a date were removed for sharing a kiss last week. (DangerousMinds)
Another gay blogger John Aravosis says he received the following statement from Facebook (AmericaBlog Gay):
''The photo in question does not violate our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities and was removed in error. We apologize for the inconvenience.''
In March, Andrew Noyes, manager of public policy communications at Facebook, spoke with Metro Weekly and discussed some of the LGBT-related issues that Facebook has been actively pursuing.
