Yes, we aren’t making this up. Nor it was a printing error.

The International New York Times edition in Pakistan flashed a huge blank space on its front page yesterday. It was deliberately left empty. But why? 

Because the original copy had a picture of two gay men kissing. The Pakistani state, for reasons known best to them, decided to censor it.

It quickly went viral and invited a lot of interesting responses from twitter.
