The Word “Gay” Cannot be in Your XBL Gamertag for ANY Reason

Gaywood Gamertag

I’m sure Richard Gaywood had a fun childhood where no one ever made his name a focal point of a conversation. Well, MS did. His gamertag, RichardGaywood was revoked. It’s his real name. MS will not let any gamertag have the word “gay” in it simply because a child might see it or it’s most likely used in a derogatory manner. Moral of the story: being gay is A-okay, it just can’t define you as a gamer. My other gamertag, Mike Oxlong is flourishing as we speak.

  1. Summon thy Pig

    lol and they STILL haven’t banned P3DOBEAR

  2. EHT

    The other guy who got banned was “theyGAYERgamer” and his excuse is pretty legit haha.

  3. There are alot of names out there that are pushing it, even some of the profiles have some crazy stuff, why ban these guys?

  4. nostars

    So Gay Gayerson is out of luck?

  5. Linzoid

    I wonder if “HetroGamer” would get banned?

  6. @ Linzoid – yeah I dont quite understand this, I can see banning the name if it was done in a negative way, like hatred toward a gay person, but just because they have Gay in the name, makes no sense. Like you said what is next… hetro, homo, black, white, sexy?
