Malaysia: Lady Gaga song censored for gay reference

21 Mar 2011

Radio broadcasters have censored lyrics to Lady Gaga’s song “Born This Way”  to avoid contravening the country’s strict decency laws. Broadcasters have distorted the line “no matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgendered life, I’m on the right track, baby”.  AMP, one of the biggest private radio networks in Malaysia, said that lyrics had been censored as a precaution because they “may be considered as offensive when viewed against Malaysia’s social and religious observances”.
