Weibo backtracks on gay censorship after outcry in China

One of China's top social networking sites has announced it will no longer be censoring content related to gay issues after the plan triggered a public outcry.

Weibo.com was flooded over the weekend with the hashtags "#I'mGay" and "#I'mGayNotaPervert" after the Twitter-like platform said that cartoons and short videos with pornographic, violent or gay subject matter would be investigated over a three-month period.
