how suprising, didn't microsoft do some extreemely homophobic PR not too long ago.... against a lesbian or something?

Not homophobic, transphobic.  They had a biological male who was transgendered on the stage with some guys, then asked if there were any ladies that wanted to come up, because they only had men.


incorrect.

It was a hired comedian that said it, he was not an MS employee.  Also the person concerned apologised as she misheard what was said.  This was proven with recordings.

Im surprised the heavily altered OP and incorrect MS quote in the title is getting a free pass.

The gaf quote in the OP isnt acceptable, considering it is lies and serious flaming.

Microsoft hired the comedian right?

Also, are those recordings up somewhere online?


1.  So what?  He didn't do anything wrong

2. I have no idea.  But seeing as the story was reported widely I still dont see how the OP is allowed to lie with that gaf quote and I dont see how the title is also allowed to have a quote that didnt happen.

 

1) He was hired by microsoft to work a microsoft event.  That makes him a Microsoft Employee.   As for not doing anything wrong... Microsoft and his apologizes seem to suggest otherwise.

2)  I don't see where any of what you said there is true... outside the story being widely reported.

Their was a joint statement, sure.  After she posted an article about how the whole situation had her crying and why trans-people don't talk about this stuff because they get tons of harrasment and hatemail and make it hard to work in the industry.... and tried to have the article pulled BECAUSE of how much constant hatemail she was receiving.

Followed by a press release that doesn't really say much... which came after apologizes both by Microsoft and the comedian who both did agree they did something wrong.  (which coincidentally does a nice job of capping the story and greatly lowering the hatemail.)

 

Usually you're better at spotting the obvious PR farces and "Settlement" releases.
