Suspended from AdSense for invalid clicks

Could the site content be a reason?

Two months ago, my educational gay site was accepted into Adsense program. Yesterday, they sent me e-mail notifying me of invalid clicks etc <language>. What invalid clicks? I barely had 5 clicks per day on my website. I believe they banned me because of my sexual orientation. My husband advised me to seek legal help. By banning educational gay site, Google has discriminated against us. There is nothing that is against GOOGLE TOS on our website. Nothing! There was no invalid clicks (as I said earlier, I barely had 5 clicks per day on my website). There is nothing that violates the spirit of Google policies. One more thing, since we were accepted into Google program, we never updated our website. They approved our websites as it was, and they banned it as it was. I smell discrimination here, and me and my husband will fight this. Do you have any advice for us?

Hi, just to let you know, Sad, there is a site number one page one on your topics, and running Adsense. So, I think there is another reason altogether for your problem. Gay is not the issue. Maybe the 5 clicks, I can't say... how long was your site running Adsense? I have only been in AdSense for 3 months. I get increased and decreased numbers of clicks, but not invalid ones. I submitted my site TWICE to the Adsense team for review AFTER it was initially accepted. Both times, they wrote to me to say my site is in compliance with the TOS, so now I relaxed and only working on trying to pull in more traffic.
