Lady Gaga's new single has been censored by Malaysian radio stations, with officials citing its "taboo" references to homosexuality. While Born This Way tops charts around the world — and hit No 4 on at least one Malaysian chart — radio reps said the track could be found offensive by "general Malaysians". Apparently Malaysian radio loves Born This Way's hooks — just not its lyrics. Although its stations continue to broadcast Lady Gaga's song, the choruses' references to being "gay, straight or bi, lesbian [or] transgendered" have been bleeped out.

Born This Way is an undeniably pro-gay song — Elton John has referred to it as "the new gay anthem".
