Do I have to say anything, considering I just hyperlinked that?
WHAT. THE. ****. My hatred for M$ has now risen to that of Apple.
I'm waiting for MS to get sued, or for a mainstream media to pick this up.
I see no problem with that.
If I had an xbox, I would want to login, and play the game. I dont care about your sexual orientation. I have no reason to need that information to be plastered all over your profile or in your gamer tag.
Keep it to yourself.
Being gay or whatever is your choice, but that doesn't mean I need or want to know about it.
But seriously haven't you even noticed my post already ended and your reading my sig? |

God, the giant pile of bull**** in this thread is just horrifying.
First, the whole idea that putting "lesbian" in a game profile is "offensive" is just painfully stupid. It's not like she posted explicit descriptions of sex with other women, it was nothing more than "gender: female, interested in: women". In fact, sex doesn't even have to be involved at all, someone can be a lesbian but not have sex, the term includes any romantic involvement. Play any multiplayer game and you're going to hear FAR more offensive things, both sexual and non-sexual, so the idea that a simple statement of romantic preferences is "offensive" is pure bull****.
As for all of your whining about "I don't need to see that", stop and think for just a second about the entire point of a profile: to post details about one's personal life. So she felt that her sexual preference was important enough in defining who she is to include it, who cares. Maybe she wanted to hang out with people with similar experiences and play games together (hey, just like a corp in EVE!), maybe she wanted to avoid unwanted male attention, who knows. But in the end, it's no different than posting your job, nationality, etc. If you don't like it, don't read it. Nobody's forcing you to click on a profile and read about the person, if you aren't interested in them as a person, just ignore it and keep shooting them.
Now, granted, Microsoft has the right to decide what they allow on their private service, but I have the right to call them a bunch of worthless ****ing bigots and add yet another reason to the long list of reasons why I will never buy an xbox.

Being gay is a lifestyle choice, people are not born gay. What angers me is that they act like they are so special when you consider them what are they good for?
All they do is complain and act like drama queens.

While i dont agree with the decision. Homosexuality is normal and completely acceptable. However it is 100% within the right of the company to ban that player. I don't even think they should have to give a reason, its their service they should be able to refuse it to whoever they want.

Being gay is mental disorder, it can be fixed and the reason why people get it fixed is because they understand that gays have no purpose in society except to prance around and complain about being "misunderstood".
Well I hope they understand a 9mm round through there no good heads.

Not only are you a worthless bigot, but you're a ****ing idiot. There is a lot of research (including clear evidence of homosexuality in animals) showing that sexual preferences are NOT conscious choices.

And right on schedule with the offensive stereotypes. I could argue with your "drama queen" comment, and explain how it's an unjustified stereotype, but I have a much simpler approach:
What exactly have you done for the world?
I'm going to, just as a wild guess, say "nothing". I strongly suspect the best possible thing you could do for the world is to remove yourself from it. Remember, when you're a worthless bigot, suicide is always the answer!

Dear ****ing idiot: no, it is not a mental disorder, and no, you can't "fix" it. You can threaten and harass and guilt people into not acting on their homosexual attractions (the popular approach for most of these "cures"), but you can't remove them completely.
And again, nice stereotypes. At least you're honest about being a worthless bigot.

Why don't you lead by example and show them how it's done? I'll even buy you a bullet, if you're too poor to afford suicide.

I can't believe I just read that. You're dripping in stereotype right there I hope you realise.
Why on earth do people deserve to be shot simply for sexual preferance? How do women sleeping with women affect you - or anyone in fact - personally? How does it endanger the lives of other people? Please point it out to me, because I must be missing something.

I hope you understand there's no place for sexual vilification or inciting violence towards someone purely because they choose to have sexual relations differently to you. Your post is foul, disgusting trash, much the same as the poster I believe. P.S. I'm not gay, but i believe in the right of the individual to choose what they are attracted to. You really need to wake up and look at reality.
P.S. I've reported your post for the foul thing it is, and I hope you are about to say goodbye to EVE, We don't need your type here.
Never mess with a guy in an ugly ship. He's bitter and has nothing to lose. |

Thing is, homosexuality is a "controversial" subject, just like, for example, religion and politics. These are subjects that cause people to go off on ridiculous rants and lose all sense of perspective and realism. Microsoft wants to keep this rubbish out of their service...
So because of this they are a bunch of worthless ****ing biggots? Strange, really, I'd say they are trying to prevent biggots from having anything to direct their biggotry at... It's not about lesbianism being offensive, it's about keeping this type of discussion out of their little gaming network.

Dont see why she felt the need to put it on her profile, must be one of those proud lezz'as who like everyone to know.
Xbox live is primarly for gaming, not talking about or discloseing your sexual preference.

Don't play xbox/xbox live at all, actually...
Still, them not succeeding doesn't mean it's not what they're trying to do... remember, it's MS... the day they make something that doesn't suck is the day the start making vacuum cleaners ;)

I never join an online game shouting "I'm hetero, you HEAR? I'm hetero!". Get freaking over it. Who gives a damn if you're gay? It's your own business.

No, its not.
A person's sexual decisions are within their jurisdiction, making it "their choice" No one is born gay, or straight. You choose.
