This must be the most egregious example of the gay agenda trying to exert its abominable muscles in an attempt to make their perverted lifestyle acceptable to normal people. There was a popular song in the 80s by Dire Straights called 'Money for Nothing' which contained a line which referred to 'faggots'.... Of course nobody in the 80s was offended by it, and I think the gays even thought it was cool.... But today they are banning the playing of the song on the radio in canada.

Dire Straits' 'Money for Nothing' Deemed Offensive In Canada, Can't Air
Published January 13, 2011 | TVGuide
Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing" can no longer be played in Canada in its original form since the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council has deemed the song offensive.
Watch the "Money for Nothing" music video
The decision stems from a listener's complaint last year calling the lyrics — which contain the word "f----t" — extremely offensive to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.
The song, which has been a classic rock staple for 25 years, earned the band a Grammy for best rock performance. The then state-of-the-art computer-animation video was also the first music video to air on MTV Europe.
Check out today's poll
"Money for Nothing" -- co-written by Mark Knopfler and Sting — will have to be edited or cannot air, the council ruled.
The council said: "The societal values at issue a quarter-century later have shifted and the broadcast of the song in 2010 must reflect those values, rather than those of 1985."
What do you think of the Canadian ruling?

I wonder if this will be banned next:

That's very interesting because up until about a week or two ago whenever I heard that song it was complete and unedited. But the last time I heard it, the lyrics had been edited out so I don't think the ban will be limited to Canada.
