    hmmm. Well, I can see how they'd think that gay is a sensitive word for some people, and that line could possibly be making fun of gays a little. Maybe the channel just thought they might insult someone, and didn't want to?

    Disney did that with a Boy Meets World episode. If it airs on Disney the line about being gay is cut.

    That scene was obviously funny

    No need to be oversensative.
