When PayPal, the giant Internet payment processing service, announced last year it would no longer do business with clients that sell pornographic products or services, gay-owned Internet businesses assumed the firm was aiming its new policy at the sex trade rather than at gays.
But at least two gay-owned companies that conduct business over the Internet say PayPal appears to be using its anti-porn policy against them, even though they don’t consider their businesses to be sexually oriented.
Los Angeles-based Hyperion Interactive Media, which operates a network of Web sites that provide services to gay audiences, and New York City-based Belhue Press, which publishes books by gay authors, said PayPal dropped them as clients earlier this year. http://www.southernvoice.com/2004/10-15/news/national/internet.cfmPay Pal banning gay websites from using their service? Aren't some of the Ebay exact big Republican supporters?
