It bears repeating (perhaps incessantly, given that this kind of proposal keeps popping up) that "obscenity filters" have a long and ugly track record of blocking material about reproductive health, gender studies, and LGBT rights/culture. There used to be a handful of websites that cataloged these incidents back in the '90s, but I don't know if anyone's still doing it. Just punch something like 'Websense LGBT' into your favorite search engine if you have any doubt.
