Default Steve Jobs is still kind of a dick

Apple recently relaunched their Apple TV set top box which can access Netflix.
In typical Steve Jobs fashion the holier-than-thou CEO has censored out the "gay and lesbian" category from Netflix. How the fuck am i supposed to rent Brokeback Mountain?!

Apple TV's Netflix Service is Missing the Gay and Lesbian Category



Back when the Netflix app for iPhone became available, there were complaints that the gay and lesbian category was missing. With Apple TV deliveries trickling in, there are reports that the Netflix service there isn't displaying the category either.

What's going on? Is Apple pulling an Amazon? We know they're fairly prudish when it comes to boobies and racy apps, but I shouldn't have to spell out how ridiculous it is that they could disregard an entire slice of the North American population like that.

Apple's forum user Brendan5 pointed out the omission on Saturday, saying that he can find the category by searching for a film he knows should be in there (such as Newcastle), but otherwise the category does not appear in the main feed.

The same category was missing from the iPhone's Netflix app when it launched in August, but it sounds as though it's now present.
