CENSORED

Because they fear,that via newsgroups there could get pornography and
Nazi-games into the university computers, the administartion of
my university (TU- Munich) stopped the acces to all newsgroups, that have to
do with games or sex.
Because they couldn't imagine, that a gay newsgroup isn' t pornographic, they
threw out even political newsgroups like alt.politics.homosexuality. 
soc.support.youth.gay-lesbian-bi is the only newsgroup I can still read. I
don not know why. Perhaps it is because the group is very new and there
have been no complaints about it.Or perhaps they think from the name ,
that this newsgroup should support young people not to become gay or lesbian
(weird idea)
I tried to talk with the people respossible for that, but they said, that
the university computers are for work not for fun. This may be right, but
if other students can be informed about Magick, Star-Trek and Heavy Metal, why
am I not allowed to talk with some fellow gays?
Then I contacted the gay group of our city, but it seemed to me, that they
were rather interested to sleep with me, than to deal with my problems.
I have the strong feeling they didn' t even understand what the internet is.
Now I have no idea, what to do next. Still I can read this newsgroup,  and it
is a very nice group, but the access to this group may also be canceled.
Can you help me? Do you have any idea?

THANX
