ASSOCIATED PRESS — Oct 11 — A Web site for gay men, cfs.com, has sued PayPal, claiming the online payment service refused to process transactions for charitable donations the site was collecting for Hurricane Katrina victims because the site engaged in "the sale of adult, sexually oriented or obscene materials or services." In addition to featuring online personals, chat rooms and listings, the site sells sex videos and some advertisers sell sex toys. cfs.com claims it was not using PayPal to process any adult-content transactions. PayPal spokeswoman Sara Bettencourt said the company has strict guidelines prohibiting use on adult-themed Web sites.
