So when Jim and Stiffler kiss each other they don't edit it but two seconds later when the girls kiss they do. How gay is that? If you aren't allowed to show homosexuality on cable, okay, then edit both. How can you take one out and not the other and if you are going to take one out, why take out the good one? Ridiculous.
I don't remember what station it was on.

The movie was probably edited for sexual content. For whatever reason, lesbian content is usually judged to be erotic, but gay content is judged to be disgusting or funny. It's really the classic double standard within homophobia.

Well that's not fair. Wouldn't lesbians be mad and protest such things? The movie wasn't being derogatory against lesbianism. In fact, they were the ones getting the upper hand in the scene.

Trust me, feminists and LGBT activists do get upset about this sort of thing. The issue is that the double standard is firmly established in culture, so protesting individual occurrences of it is virtually impossible. No person or group could possibly keep up with it.
