Interestingly: that EFF link seems to have ignored the biggest LGBT/electronic freedom overlap IMHO - censorware. The people who make censorware often automatically include anything LGBT-related as porn. Here in the UK, O2 filters the Wikipedia articles on 'gay', 'lesbian' and 'transgender' under the "Lifestyles" category—the very term that homophobes use! LGBT campaigning sites and safe sex sites have been filtered on corporate and state-owned wifi connections as pornography. And the UK government's plan to try and introduce on-by-default internet filtering will lead to LGBT teenagers not able to look up safe sex information online when said information gets miscategorised by the censorware manufacturers as 'porn'. Not to mention, the censorware that automatically alerts the 'concerned' parents running it as to what little Jimmy is doing on the Internet - that's going to potentially out kids to their parents and put them at risk of being made homeless by their fundamentalist nutjob parents. As a closeted gay teenager, I'm really fucking glad to have grown up in an era where the internet for me was uncensored precisely because having access to a resource that had information - and, yes, porn - that showed being gay as normal, healthy and okay was a refreshing, sanity-inducing change from the rest of society that didn't.
