Malaysia gags Lady Gaga, garbles gay lyrics of "Born This Way"


Malaysian radio stations worry some lyrics in Lady Gaga’s gay anthem “Born This Way” are on the wrong track.

Broadcasters in the Muslim-majority nation have refused to play lines in the hit song that encourage public acceptance of gays, claiming on Thursday they are being cautious because the government forbids the airing of offensive content.

Malaysians who tune in to popular stations hear edited versions of “Born This Way” that use indecipherable garble to replace the lyrics: “No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgendered life, I’m on the right track, baby.”

AMP Radio Networks, Malaysia’s top private radio operator, said the precaution was due to government restrictions against songs that might violate “good taste or decency or [are] offensive to public feeling.” More...
