I am confused. Is this restriction only for LGBT artists or does it apply to others? Or did they apply it more to Lgbt no matter the content? Justin Timberlake had a video where he was being dragged by a lover. Adam Levine had one where a stalker was covered with blood (I had to turn away whenever it came on) and Carrie Underwood has several where her husband or lover is killed by her and other women so I wonder if they are also restricted. Adam's bare shoulders in WTTS seem tame by comparison.

I don't think it's that big of deal looks like a careless mistake from YT. I doubt they had restrictions on LGBT artists mvs deliberately.

Looks to me like avertisers request that their advertisements go only in front of videos that meet certain broad mainstream standards suitable, for all ages, etc. Some standards got worked out and agreed upon and presumably gay/sexual material was part of that.
Youtube puts this categorization into the hands of a bunch of morons, who turn that into everything that can be associated with gay and whatever else their broad brush paints over.
Furthermore, this seems to get rolled out without oversight or review.
Now they have a mess at their hands, which will some time to clean up.
1) Seems more a case of putting unqualified programmers in charge of topics that will have major social and political implications. 2) Trying to cut corners and rolling stuff out untested. 3) Maybe unaware what a shit-storm can be created by doing something like this on the cheap. 4) Societies overall wish to have boxes for everything and being able to request cover-your-ass type contracts in every situation, has totally gone amok. 5) A general lack of reflection on the depth and complication, rather advertiser just pushing that social responsibility onto youtube, who then underestimated what they were dealing with
What I don't think this is, is an outright intent by Youtube to discriminate against all gay artists and many straight ones too. But now that they have a mess at their hands, they will have to put the thinking in that they were previously lacking.

If u r brave enough just look at the comments.... Those comments are terrible! And it's not one or two, but over 200 people commenting and they are almost all anti-LGBTQ comments. Some are posting several posts, but still. Quick lesson - NEVER, EVER read comments on Yahoo, that is a cesspool for commenters. The blocking or filtering on YouTube is also language, so anything with Fuck in it would be flagged.

So there is still hope for the world? GT Music video doesn't contain Fuck though. It's a clean version. ALN MV does use Fuck, but maybe they thought that with the male stripper that it would be flagged as inappropriate anyway.

Sarah Hudson mentioned Adam on her IG stories again. Seems like she, Ferras and Adam got together again. Continued work on some new music?
In the pic there are silver boots and a hat. Can't bring it over as I'm on my phone and nobody posted the link yet on twitter.
