McDonalds in New Zealand is blocking wi-fi access to LGBT or 'gay' websites, apparently because they assume there's something inappropriate associated with them:
McDonald’s has caused controversy in the GLBT community after blocking access to gay-related websites for Wellington customers using its free WiFi service.
GayNZ.com says it has received numerous complaints from the community that sites they frequent cannot be accessed.
McDonald’s say the sites have been blocked because they are a family restaurant and content must be suitable for children, but they are prepared to review on a case-by-case basis.
In Auckland our reporter tested a variety of websites. The results, shown below, are somewhat surprising. Gay dating site Bro Online was accessible, but sites offering support and advice for homosexual people were not.
