Hey, thats me.

For the record, the article doesn't mention anything about islam or Muslims, and the comments in the post neither, so the mods saw "homophobic attack" and went "better remove it because Islamophobia"

I figured they just read Lesbian as Lebanon/Lebanese and got confused.

That's really weird since it's an LGBT subreddit, so I bet the word lesbian comes up much more often than Lebanon.

According to other comments here, it's more an LGB subreddit.
