The software would block creation of a chat room 'Gay teen chat' but you COULD create a room called 'Teen fag bashers.' AOL also regularly deleted profiles containing 'sexually oriented' content such as 'gay white male' while straight men were allowed to list in THEIR profiles how they were 'well endowed' and how skillfully they could please women with their tongues, etc. We received complaints about how AOL was very phobic about not allowing chat areas for gay teens and trans-people. I was president of the Fort Worth ACLU in 1996-98 and also active in the local Gay Alliance.
