I do not agree with the decision. For all we know she put it in her bio to just decrease the number of pitiful boys that would contact her.
Although I do not agree with MS, I need to point out that if one reads the US Constitution, our freedom of speech only has to do with government restriction. The Constitution, in wording, does not protect free speech in private settings, which is totally under the regulation of the individual entity.
For example, if you worked as a developer for a high end contractor do you think the government would interven in your dismisal from the organization if you went out and told some reporter all the secrets of said contractor?
Defendant - "Your honor the defendant divulged integral company secrets"
Ex-employee - "But your honor, they can not fire me for telling the buisness secrets, I have the freedom of speech"
Judge - 
To mercyoman - The following two links help back up my belief that sexuality works on a continum that I suspect follows a traditional bell curve. To which direction that curve favors time only will tell.

Oh and regarding real-life names with "gay" in it and such... well, sucks to be you I guess... Your parents could've called you Adolf ******, that doesn't mean you can use that name in online games... This even applies to me, as my (dutch) surname is offensive in english, I'd probably not be allowed to use it... can't really say I give a damn tbh...
This guy should be banned from all Christian dominated areas

A person's sexual decisions are within their jurisdiction, making it "their choice" No one is born gay, or straight. You choose.
Me thinks you need to read the whole thread before posting and you need to post some research that supports your opinion.

EDIT: To stay on topic; MS has every right to do this is if it is done across the board.
The rest of the text is a derail  :END EDIT

You mean like when children are born a-sexual and choose at a later age whether they want to be male or female?.
I was going to go down that route but I decided against it. But since you brought it up I will comment.
The sad part is, in the past, many parents and/or doctors (sometimes without parental permission) decided to make the decision of making the child male or female soon after birth. These individuals have suffered lives full of pain, due to growth of the sex organs that were encased improperly and without thought of the maturation process. These individuals have also experienced massive seclusion due to the publicsÆ lack of knowledge and understanding.
To all those against "deviant sexual relationships";
Should these individuals also suffer lives with a complete lack of physical touch or of romantic feelings since they do not fall into your nice little box of how things should be?
As of 5 years ago asexuality was occurring at a rate close to 1/100 live births worldwide. Not a massively large percentage, but prevalent enough to raise social awareness.
I will quote myself from earlier,
"I believe sexuality runs along a continuum with a bell curve distribution. To which side that curve favors has yet to be determined"

Please back up your claim with credible sources. Human's make choices. So, unless you believe free will is a falsity, your position is flawed.
I have put up credible sources that you have failed to look at I guess. You are the one that has yet to post any sources. So unless you want to say that animals have free will you may need to adjust your views slightly.
The original two sources that I linked.
Mammel Review If the link does not work the following is the abstract:
"Information from the literature is given on the presence or absence of homosexual behaviour and female-male mounting in 125 species of mammals, both captive and wild. Such behaviour occurs in the male and often female young of many species soon after their birth. It is more common in young, often in play, than in adults. Adult homosexual behaviour is widespread in male and female mammals (recorded in 63 and 71 species respectively), but common in few species. In males it is most likely to be correlated with dominance and thus to occur in species with hierarchies such as terrestrial monkeys and members of the sheep and goat tribe. In females it is often correlated with sexual condition; a female in heat most often mounted another female, and one in heat was next most likely to be mounted by another female. Anoestral females rarely mounted other anoestral females. Females of 43 species mounted males, which often excited them sexually. Captive mammals tended to mount animals of the same sex more often than did wild ones when comparative data were available. Domestic animals also mounted more man did wild ones, with several exceptions. Some phylogenetic groups of animals displayed similar degrees of homosexual mounting, but there was often considerable variation between closely related species. Nor could homosexual mounting be always correlated with the social structure of a group. The four reasons for, or contexts of, homosexual and female-male mountings were social play (in 34 species), aggression (19 species), sexual excitement (36 species), and physical contactùnon-play (30 species). This last category included a state of tension, getting attention, greeting, grooming, caressing, reassurance and appeasement. There was some overlap between categories. Homosexual pair-bonds occur in captive mammals and have been observed throughout the year in non-captive female Japanese monkeys."

To Tractus,
I find it funny that you do not care to respond to the evidence that you asked for. The absence of a respnse leads to the idea that you are in some form of denial. Denial is the first sing of a problem

Ever notcied that its only gay and lesbian people that feel the need to make themselves known? Why do they feel the need to do that? Surely they must realise that its fckin annoying?
Do you not realize that heterosexuality is shoved down "their" throats on a daily basis  Many heterosexual people do not find that anoying because it fits into their nice little world.

Its not shoved down their throats on purpose though is it. Least not im most cases
And you still dont here of straight pride week. I mean the way they go about it is entirely pathetic. They want people to leave them alone and accept them for who they are yet they make a dam fuss about being noticed dont they....
If you were a minority and you were constantly being discriminated against would you not do all in your power to change things? Would you not do all in your power to make it blatantly obvious that your population is not really that different and deserves the same respect and rights given to the majority?
Whether the shove is intentional or not does not really matter. The fact that homosexuals are in a minority, and in the States, live in a place where they are looked down upon and discriminated against in many places, justifies their cries in many but not all circumstances.
Then again this does not matter if you think that homosexuals need to continue to hide in the closet from society and accept their less then equal standings as citizens.
This MS incident being case and point. MS has every right to police their site as they see fit. This individual definitely handled the situation incorrectly. If they really wanted to prove a point they should have created a profile that said I am heterosexual, then get someone to complain about it, and see if the results were the same.

Nature is designed to survive and reproduce otherwise life itself would be pointless (and we wouldnt be here). You cant naturally reproduce if your gay now can you? So yeah looks like im right.
The thing is that science proves you wrong. If you would care to take a look at the sources I presented earlier you may find some things out.
Unless you can take the time to read those, find reffered sources that supports your claims, and form anargument, then you are just full of hot air.
