Does Yahoo screen some questions?

I asked a question calling into question their practice of filing non-LGBT-related things in the LGBT section, but it never showed up in the open questions section.

Does Yahoo screen questions?

Update:

I asked the other question half an hour ago, and it still hasn't shown up in Yahoo Answers. I think they might have screened it.

Update 2:

It violated no terms of service, it only questioned their categorization methods. I guess Yahoo doesn't like people questioning them.

    I don't know, but I think it's ridiculous that yahoo files LGBT under society and culture, subspecies, or what not, like we are some kind of freaks. Why arent' we under relationships and dating? Isn't that what LGBT is? Having attractions for the same sex?

    Im not sure.. :S

    but once i asked the question " Why are people against gays allowed writing in LGBT saying things like "What are some good arguements against gay marriage" and stuff like that. And they deleted it..

    so, my guess is yes they do.
