Taylor Swift's "Picture to Burn" PC question

[whodeyAtown21]

Originally, I heard the first verse as:

State the obvious,
I didn’t get my perfect fantasy
I realized you love yourself
More that you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends
That I’m obsessive and crazy,
That’s fine
I’ll tell mine
You’re gay,
And by the way

But, on the radio...I always here this:

State the obvious,
I didn’t get my perfect fantasy
I realized you love yourself
More that you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends
That I’m obsessive and crazy,
That’s fine
You won’t mind
If I say
By the way,

My question is...what in the world is wrong with America? If this was changed because it used the word gay...I really don't understand. If it was changed due to that reason, that makes "gay" a bad word, thus making homosexuals [essentially] taboo.

Ive been wondering the same thing. We listen to CMT at work and I heard that the other day and I was like what did I miss something. Thats just a sign of the PC world in which we live. I think its stupid, but its all about the wussification of our youth by the liberal media.

Even with the PC thing though, I think it's funny because it makes it seem like being gay is a bad thing. It's not like she was "gay hating" or anything. He told all of his friends she was crazy (which would prevent them from liking her), so she was going to tell her friends he is gay (so that they won't like him). I think it's hilarious.

I seriously doubt any gay rights groups had anything to do with this.

Yeah I listen to that song all the time because it's a good song and it has a nice cover to the cd

if you ask me i would say it got taken out because the record company and taylor prolly didn't want to make alot of people mad
