From this article, it seems that the URL filtering solution in question contained a "sexuality filter", which categorized sites based on the presence of LGBT related content. BrightCloud does not have such a category - instead it has a general "adult and pornography" category, which it defines as: Sexually explicit material for the purpose of arousing a sexual or prurient interest. Adult products including sex toys, CD-ROMs, and videos. Online groups, including newsgroups and forums, that are sexually explicit in nature. Erotic stories and textual descriptions of sexual acts. Adult services including videoconferencing, escort services, and strip clubs. Sexually explicit art. If a site contains material as described above, it is categorized as "adult and pornography", regardless of the sexual orientation of its providers and intended audience. Similarly, support sites for the LGBT community - or sites where the target demographic is the LGBT community - as long as they are not adult in nature, are not categorized differently than sites for the heterosexual community. Generally speaking, sites that target a specific demographic are categorized as "society". More information regarding the various BrightCloud categories and descriptions can be found here. Hope this helps, Doris
