The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission says it has received more than 250 letters from Canadians on the issue, most of them questioning why the song would be banned.

Artists were among those who questioned the song's ban, including well-known gay Canadians such as Scott Thompson from comedy troupe Kids in the Hall.

“Shakespeare would be rolling over in his g-word,” Thompson told QMI Agency.

Rick Mercer, host of CBC’s Rick Mercer Report, said, “The song doesn’t offend me, because it’s all about context, and it’s a character line spoken by an ignorant person who is jealous of a glam rock 'n' roll star.”
