T-Mobile has been the focus of complaints in the United Kingdom lately that their phone network bars access to LGBT websites because they are considered to be 'offensive', and unsuitable for those under eighteen.

Massachusetts may approve of same-sex marriage, but the Roman Catholic Church does not, and it emphatically does not. This is why Christine M. Judd is no longer the athletic director and dean of students at Cathedral High School. Judd married her wife back in August, and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield did not approve. Thus, they did their best to force her to leave. Judd stated of her departure "I was given a choice of termination or resignation. I'm hurt, but I wish the best for Cathedral, its students, the parents, the athletic teams, administration and faculty. I bleed purple." Purple is the school's color.
