let them play, if they display their own sexual orientation and little kids see it, guess what, they should NOT be playing those games.
This. It's just plain fucking stupid.
I feel ashamed to be on XBOX LIVE if that's how the people who run it treat people.
All in all, this is bullshit.
It's in her "About Me" section....how is it offensive if she simply tells who she is?
The damn cunts that followed her saying "We don't want this shown to our kids" and trying to turn her in all need to have dry ice shoved up their asses.

-Your flashing legal terms when Im clearly speaking on a technical levelCheeze_Pavilion said:
And a person who has a disorder where mutation takes place on the orientation of the chromosome they are technically not male or female.
-Maybe but not with sexual.
- the sex as explained in the conditions refers to sexual activity not the specification of gender.
It is described as anything pertaining to a "sexual nature" a term that would encompass this scenario.
As for definitions take your pick there all damning:
1. Of, relating to, involving, or characteristic of sex, sexuality, the sexes, or the sex organs and their functions.
2. Implying or symbolizing erotic desires or activity.
3. Relating to, produced by, or involving reproduction characterized by the union of male and female gametes: sexual reproduction.
None of the definitions clearly state only gender as a definition.
I always hear Xbox Live players screaming about doing women, declaring their overt manliness (totally assured, I guess), or otherwise openly expressing their heterosexuality during games. I never hear of these guys getting banned. It's a partial case on Microsoft's part. They chose to discriminate against one harmless lesbian over every single person who's open about their sexuality, which ends up with a lot more straights than gays, because homosexuality stands out. Our culture, as it stands, is infested with heterosexual leanings. The vast majority just don't notice it.AceDiamond said:
Anyways, I had gave up on humanity at around the time the Vandals sacked Rome, so I'm relegated to just living it like it is, in a world full of people blind to one side (that's not implicate you, of course).
Isn't it ironic that even during online games, some people say racist and sexual epithets and not got banned, yet the moment someone puts it in their profile, they immediately get banned?
Way to keep things balanced, shitheads.

First off, I agree you should and she could easily win a lawsuit.Baby Tea said:
Secondly, This is why I don't support Microsoft in anyway thats why I make my own computers and install Ubuntu. Anything that says Windows, or Microsoft I avoid cause they're all assholes.
EDIT: In other words I don't support them in anyway I won't even get a 360 and I never got an Xbox either.
Umm who cares if the next president is gay? Seriously that is not like it is any of our business to begin with. Just like her being a lesbian is none of our business. Barak can't hide the fact he is black and even that shouldn't matter. Just like in this discussion it doesn't matter as long as he can do the job. Same applies to her.dragonburner said:
this has happened before people get banned for no other reason than stupid. people with brain get mad, but soon forget... then things go as if it never happened.

A lot of people seem to be missing the point or not understanding how Live works.
She was suspended because she mentioned content of a sexual nature, which violates the Terms of Use she agreed to.
Why is this against the terms of use? It's because Live has to be an environment which is suitable for all ages (I'm ignoring the issue of chat, as this aspect of on-line interaction is beyond Microsoft's control).
Unless set to private, people's profiles can be viewed by anyone via the dashboard, therefore it's not a case of "children shouldn't be playing a M rated game" as children can read people's profile from the dashboard, which aren't affected by any Parental Controls used on their system.
The simple fact of the matter is, nobody, no matter how much the feel they are being oppressed, has the right to dictate when, how and at what age other peoples children learn about sexuality, especially the more complicated details of homosexuality.
It's not about freedom of speech or freedom of expression, it's about the freedom to let your child play video games in a sexually neutral environment and enjoy the innocence and blissful ignorance of childhood.
Hence all content of a sexual nature is not allowed in very public, unrestricted profiles as clearly stated in the Terms of Use which everyone on Live has agreed to.
