* [[CBS]] announced it would accept a TV ad for the 2010 Super Bowl from a pro-life group, in a change from the network's "no controversy" policy. However, CBS turned down an ad from Mancrunch.com, a gay dating service. The network has had no problem with heterosexual dating services, such as eHarmony. Of course, there's no way a small site like Man Crunch could have paid for the ad, and so submitted an ad [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VMqHb03p74 just beyond what would have been acceptable] just so they could get publicity for it being turned down.
** Similarly, the pro-life group had a religious orientation... and skeptics brought up how CBS had earlier turned away an ad from the United Church of Christ that depicted bouncers turning away gay people (among others) from church services.

* In ''[[I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry]]'', the filmmakers originally planned for the two male leads to kiss there in court, but the MPAA threatened to rate it R if they did. Instead, they just got extremely close.
** Oddly enough, other PG-13 films like ''[[Far From Heaven]]'' have featured gay kisses so the MPAA isn't even consistent in that area. This, of course, takes us back to ''[[This Film Is Not Yet Rated]]''.
* The film ''[[My Life in Pink]]'', about a male-born 7-year-old child who identifies as a girl, was given an R rating for this reason.
* The dark comedy ''[[I Love You Phillip Morris]]'' never saw mainstream 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.
** It took a while to come out in Australia too, despite Aussies' more liberal reputation.
