More interesting though, you two left-leaners seem to be saying YouTube is yours. If the right don't like it, they can start their own.

I'm not sure that's a view even YouTube itself wants to encourage, but if they do, then I agree with you. Perhaps it is time for a ConTube, and maybe YouTube can change its name to ProgTube.

If it comes to that though, you lose the argument concerning whether the more popular right wing cable outlet, Fox news has a right to exist, and don't be whining when YouTube all of a sudden has a vastly decreased membership similar to that of CNN, or MNSNBC.
I'm guessing they had like 10 thousand flags. I could be wrong about that but if anywhere near the truth I can see they would scrutinize her offering more strictly. As I mentioned I have seen dozens of Christians speak against gays on Youtube, but this one had more attention for some reason.

Send them some money. Then you can watch it all day long.

That is exactly what I said. But they have rules and you don't like those rules because they try to keep down the hate speech.

Why? You aren't a conservative, You are a republican.

If you enjoy a partisan news network like FOX go ahead and be spun.

It was pulled, obviously, because it was a popular video that was politically incorrect. That is, it was opposed to normalizing what most people, cultures, and religions regard as an abomination.

Since Liberals think they operate upon a higher plane, there can be in their feeble minds, no wrongness in suppressing views with which they disagree.

She sounds likes a living, breathing right-wing talking point.

Wanna know how I know this?

The banned Youtube video, amazingly enough, has been salvaged... on Youtube, on her account.

I couldn't find any more of those anti gay videos.
I guess bigotry is no longer considered protected speech in some media. hmmm

She seems like a pretty informed 16 year old to me. Nice kid.

The girl needs to be educated. She says that NC is for "traditional marriage". That's hardly true given that NC didn't revert back to "traditional marriage". If they had, wives would be bought with goats and owned by their husbands, legal to beat and rape. That's "traditional marriage". Somehow I doubt that's what she supports.

Additionally, marriage has jack all to do with the bible so it really doesn't matter what that particular book of mythology says.

I think the only reason marriage was instituted in the first place wa to insure inheritance, but if you want to prove your lineage, the Jews have the best system for keeping records. They trace the family through the mother. Which when you think about it is the only logical way to do it.

As a YouTube junkie I can tell you this:

YouTube doesn't really check to verify whether something has actually broken community guidelines or whether something really IS hate speech. Once a certain number of people click to report a video as hate speech, YouTube simply removes it.
