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 His gamertag, RichardGaywood was revoked.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.

    @ 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?
