Youtube Censors Anti-gay Sermon

The evening after the massacre at Orlando's Pulse nightclub, a California pastor took the opportunity to preach that "God said: When you find a sodomite, put them to death.'” A video of the sermon was uploaded by the church, then deleted “for violating YouTube’s policy on hate speech.” A copy of the video uploaded by someone else [youtube.com], describing the sermon as "despicable," was allowed to remain.
