Mykki Blanco's "Loner" music video was pulled from Youtube by the website early Monday, according to a screenshot of the notice posted by Blanco on Twitter and Instagram. Youtube cited that the video violated"community guidelines" and, according to a tweet from Blanco, the scene in question was a brief shot of someone's bulge.

The video has now returned to the website after Blanco called out Youtube for having double standards when it came to censoring queer sexuality and not displays of heterosexuality.

I try to explain to people I don't WANT Homophobia to be apart of my narrative, situations like this arise & make Homophobia apart of it
