Hey, I've seen a few opinion pieces about this lately and wanted to see what you guys thought.

Over at Keenspot they have a policy of cycling through the various webcomics that are members of their site, a recent newsbox (small animated gif that showcases and links the comics) featured two men kissing, and one of the artists decided it was not apropriate and removed the newsbox, putting up a text link. This was after contacting Keenspot about the content and the artist's discomfort with it and they failed to provide a substitute (as is their policy).

link to Scott Kurtz's summary and opinion
link to another article
clarification of the situation from the blogger

The second and third links are from Websnark, a webcomic critic, and a fairly useful site in general (it's turned me on to a few comics)

I'll refrain from posting my belief's until later.

{edit} Some swearing in the first link, and possibly in the second and third as well.
