The tendency of Moral Guardians to be harsher toward homosexuality than heterosexuality. In American media, male/female couples can kiss and make out, but even a slight peck from a same-sex couple is an automatic PG-13, if not an R. And of course, there's no way to include even a tame homosexual sex scene without getting an R or NC-17 rating. Unfortunate Implications of this become even more apparent as gay people become more accepted and equal in society, or at least in the West.
Not to be confused with Hide Your Lesbians, which refers to the tendency to reduce canon gay relationships to subtext. See also But Not Too Gay for the downplaying of sexuality/exclusion of gay affection altogether. Not related at all to Closet Punishment.

A same-sex kiss in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was edited out for its release in Singapore and Dubai. The film was later released uncensored in Singapore on Disney+, but with the rating raised to NC16.

Another in-universe example in Good Luck Charlie where Teddy (dressed as Benjamin Franklin) kisses her boyfriend (dressed as Thomas Jefferson) in front of a family and are promptly fired for the "inappropriate" act. Unlike the Glee example above, this is played for un-ironic laughs. Then again, they later revealed one of Charlie's playmates had two female parents, and several people involved in the production received death threats, even the actress portraying Charlie.

During his legendary career writing X-Men, Chris Claremont intended to reveal Nightcrawler was the result of Homosexual Reproduction by way of Mystique (his canonical mother) gender-bending into a man to impregnate Destiny. Marvel put the kibosh on the idea as a result of a strict "No homosexuals" policy active at the time. Perhaps in retaliation, Destiny is often depicted as the only of Mystique's lovers she truly cares about. Chuck Austen would go as far as to try and render Claremont's idea impossible by revealing Kurt's father to be a demon called Azazel, reveal widely despised by fans. Claremont would get the last laugh, however, as decades later in 2023, Si Spurrier was permitted to retcon away Azazel's involvement and unambiguously canonize Claremont's original idea, affirming that Destiny is Kurt's mother and Mystique his father.

After Karolina came out in Runaways, she was almost immediately put on a spaceship, having suddenly become betrothed to Xavin, a genderfluid Skrull royal (who presented as male as often as female, if not more). When they came back, they were generally portrayed as a happy couple... until volume three contrived a reason to put Xavin on a bus just after they shared their first and only on-panel kiss. Xavin hasn't been seen since, and Karolina moved on to dating Lightspeed, and then Nico. By contrast, Nico and Victor were shown in bed together, and it was explicitly stated that Gert and Chase had a very active sex life. (To be fair, Xavin being dropped wasn't just because of the pairing - it was because Terry Moore had taken over writing duties by that point and disliked the idea of a heroic Skrull.)

The infamous gay marriage episode of The Simpsons (season 16's "There's Something About Marrying") became the first episode on American TV to get a content warning before the episode started note On FOX, content warnings are reserved for just the Seth MacFarlane cartoons — Family Guy and American Dad! especially — and the oddball shows like Bob's Burgers, Allen Gregory, the short-lived series Sit Down, Shut Up, and the cartoon adaptation of Napoleon Dynamite and was rated TV-14 for strong sexual themes (in this case, gay marriage). This is coming from a show that regularly contains child abuse, gambling, death, alcohol abuse, juvenile delinquency, sex, attempted murder, explicit animal blood and gore, and other humor that is usually considered cruel or dark, yet often gets away with a TV-PG rating. Older episodes with gay content have gotten away with just the TV-PG ratings, so the content raters aren't consistent in this area.

After Yahoo bought Tumblr, it has set a rather unnecessarily complicated tag blocking system to make it "kid-friendly". Among the deleted tags? "Gay", "lesbian", "bisexual", even simply "LGBT". "Straight" isn't blocked, and neither are far more explicit tags like "rape". This turned out to be an aversion though: the real reason those were blocked was that most things tagged with them were Not Safe for Work (as in pornography) and they risked getting the Tumblr app pulled from app stores because of it. It's now possible to search those tags again, with most NSFW stuff left out. (Question 2 is the relevant one.)

The third episode of Naruto received unnecessary editing in the English dub; when Naruto attempts to intimidate Sasuke by getting really close to his face, he's unknowingly bumped into by a classmate, leading to an Accidental Kiss. Whilst this is clearly (but briefly) shown for comical effect in the Japanese dub, a mere kissing sound and reaction shot of others was used to avoid an age rating boost in English dubs (despite it being entirely innocent). Later subverted: the screenshot of the kiss remained intact for Sasuke's almost-death collage of flashbacks, and a similar image is used for the fifth English opening as well.

The dark comedy I Love You Phillip Morris had a delayed American release for this reason - distributors supposedly refused to pick it up due to its fairly graphic sex scenes. It was released in more liberal places, like Europe, though. Fortunately, it was ultimately averted as it did eventually receive a release and became rather popular (especially in DVD sales and on streaming sites, like Netflix). It took a while to come out in Australia too, as Moral Guardians are just as big in Australia as in America, if not more so - many things only see edited release there if they are released at all. The Moral Guardians have more pulling power over the media than the general public does.

The documentary This Film is Not Yet Rated had examples of this: it showed straight and gay sex scenes with similar action, positions and lighting side-by-side on the screen, then pointed out that the films with gay scenes almost invariably had far stronger ratings (usually NC-17 as opposed to R).

Turning Red got a preemptive case by Disney's Executive Meddling, violently stomping out LGBT content the creators had planned and even storyboarded (while letting drug and pedophilia jokes fly). This has gone truly infamous as these revelations came right after Disney supported anti-trans bills in Florida.

When Lightyear was released in Singapore, despite the film lacking any real mature content (it is a Disney and Pixar film after all) the film would receive a NC16 rating by the IMDA, which is basically the Singaporean equivalent to a R rating in the US. This is largely thanks to a single scene in which Commander Hawthorne kisses her wife.

On Neopets, discussing controversial topics is banned. Such topics originally included, alongside politics and religion, LGBTQIA+ issues of all kinds. Oddly, such rules remained in place even after players gained the ability to set their genders as "other" (a feature added in May 2016), with the accompanying editorial making it quite clear that the option was added so nonbinary people could use it... even though they weren't allowed to mention their identities outside of that profile option. One short animation from 2018's Advent Calendar also featured two random unnamed characters who are implied to be transgender. However, despite the presence of the option and animation, such topics still weren't officially allowed to be discussed until a forum rule change made during December 2020; although users rarely got in trouble for mentioning such things in the last couple of years before the rule change, they still had to tread lightly, and in the end the rules were updated in response to an incident involving a bigot using said rules to attack others (which had become a recurring problem).

There was a spin-off of the PBS television show Arthur called Postcards from Buster. It is remembered for little more than the fact that one episode got banned for showing an (implied) lesbian family. The parent show would eventually subvert this full force in Season 22 when Mr. Ratburn and his boyfriend eventually got married, though played straight when Alabama Public Television refused to air the episode.

The English dub of Transformers: Energon, while not really that great to begin with, made a ham-handed attempt to edit out Mirage/Shockfleet's obvious love for his leader. Unfortunately for them, they could only bring it down to Ho Yay levels, as there's no real way to rewrite a blossoming pink heart behind Mirage's transformation sequence after discovering Megatron was still alive.

LEGO's "Everyone is Awesome" set is based on the Progress Pride Flag and was released in June 2021. However, queer LEGO fans have noticed that the set is online-exclusive and rated 18+ despite its relative simplicity. LEGO responded to the criticisms by saying that the mature rating is due to the set being a display piece and not a toy, though cynical folks believe it was to keep Moral Guardians at bay, likely the same reason it's not available in stores.

When Cartoon Network in the UK aired the Steven Universe episode "We Need To Talk," the scene where Rose and Pearl dance was cut for being too sexually suggestive (and some of Rainbow Quartz's movements were edited as well). You might be mistaken for thinking they were taking out any romantically charged content regardless of sexuality, but later in the episode, Greg and Rose dance similarly and then kiss and this remained, which came off as very hypocritical and a tad homophobic, according to the show's LGBT fanbase. Especially given the channel's reasoning behind the actions ("In the UK we have to ensure everything on air is suitable for kids of any age at any time. We do feel that the slightly edited version is more comfortable for local kids and their parents").

Mass Effect was guilty of this for two whole games. In the first game, you can romance a genderless but female-presenting alien, Liara, who has become a mascot for the Discount Lesbians trope since the relationship is only gay from a human perspective. In the second game, you can have a fling with a pansexual human female, Kelly, that does not grant you any recognition on the romance achievement. It takes until Mass Effect 3 for gay relationships to be granted equal standing; it is also the first game in the franchise to allow any kind of male same-sex romance.

American soap operas have been called out for the double standard they use to treat their gay romances. Notably As the World Turns with gay couple Luke and Noah. Fans instituted a "kiss clock" marking how long it had been since their last kiss. It was over 6 months, in a genre that has people hopping in and out of bed on a regular basis. Guiding Light's gay couple suffered similarly with hand-holding and longing looks being the extent of affection seen. ABC and NBC have made more of an effort to give more than lip service to treating their gay soap couples the same as the straight ones, but even they aren't exempt from this—despite landmark coming-out storylines, gay/transgender characters on One Life to Live, All My Children, and The City (1995) were quickly relegated to the background or left town. In particular, All My Children's Bianca had one disastrous relationship after another, including with a pre-op transexual (this one especially outraged fans as they felt the writers were essentially trying to place Bianca in a relationship with a man), and was even raped (also enraging fans who felt the character was explicitly being punished for being a lesbian).

Invoked in-universe in the season 3 episode of Glee, "Heart", Where Principal Figgins stops newly out couple Santana and Brittany when they are about to kiss in the school hallway as other students might find it offensive. Santana is quick to point out how unfair this is, citing Rachel and Finn as an example and eventually leaves the office in an angry huff. Also in the third season, a warning for parental discretion was shown during the episode where gay couple Kurt and Blaine lose their virginity to each other, despite there being no graphic contact at all, just a shot of them snuggling in bed and the implication afterwards. However, there was no such warning in previous episodes where characters had sex since the pairings were opposite genders. Fox seems to have learned their lesson, as there was no such warning in a later episode where couples of all stripes hook up after Will's aborted first wedding to Emma, including Kurt and Blaine as well as Santana and Quinn. Santana and Quinn's hookup was entirely off-screen (just the "after" shot of them in bed) but Kurt and Blaine's car makeout was seen in full, well-lit glory.

In Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, the protagonist Judai becomes an Official Couple with Yubel, an intersex draconic monster who was his One True Love in their past life as humans. Yubel's gender is unspecified even in their past life, and in their monster form their voice frequently switches between feminine and masculine, while their body has a female right half with obvious eyelashes, a clothed breast and a curvy figure, and a male left half with a flatter, bare pec and a more angular figure. In the 4Kids Entertainment English dub, however, Yubel is explicitly a woman complete with a feminine voice and an edited clothed breast in place of their bare pec. To make things extra confusing, even after all of these changes, the dialogue between the two is still rewritten to remove the romance and Yubel's past life is given an obviously male voice.

In the The Amazing World of Gumball episode "The Love", there is a skit where a Lemony Narrator talks about the "science" of love.

When PopGirl in the UK started censoring 6teen so younger viewers could watch it, they stopped airing the episode where Nikki had a lesbian co-worker and the episode where Jen developed a "girl crush" on her new boss. Oddly, they still aired the episode where a gay cowboy bids on Jonesy. Cartoon Network in the US didn't air the lesbian co-worker episode even once.

This is supposedly the sole reason why the Rawhide Kid mini Marvel Comics did a while back was in the MAX imprint, even if he was just somewhat hinted to be gay. Through constant and offensive innuendo.

YouTube pulled a 16-second sponsoring ad that featured two men in their underwear in an emotional embrace, saying it "promoted mature sexual themes" and was "non-family safe". It was an excerpt from a Perfume Genius music video YouTube still hosts. The other man in the video is recognized by some as the Manly Gay "Bear" porn star Arpad Miklos, but this would not likely be recognized by a random viewer who has never seen an Arpad Miklos porno.

The original English dub of Sailor Moon famously tried to hide Haruka/Amara and Michiru/Michelle's relationship by making them cousins... without changing any of the visuals, resulting in these two "cousins" acting unusually close.

The series finale of The Legend of Korra ends with Korra and Asami becoming a couple, though the fact that they never kiss, merely hold hands, had some viewers argue that this was ambiguous. Creator Konietzko wrote that the same-gender relationship is canon and that while Nickelodeon was supportive of this decision, "there was a limit to how far [they] could go with it"- meaning no kissing, even though every heterosexual romance in both this show and its predecessor got one.

This is why Willow and Tara were together for a season before kissing on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This may have actually helped — the writers were forced to find other ways to show their love and affection for each other.

An openly gay character was one of the reasons the third season of Braceface didn't air in the US.

Italian Network Rai 2 has aired Brothers & Sisters at 21.55 because of homosexual content while airing way racier shows (why, hello Desperate Housewives!) at earlier times. This baffles the mind.
