And your argument is not correct as listed, because it starts with "I think we all agree that..." and my post made it clear that I do not agree. Hence, we do not all agree, so you are wrong.

It's a problem with the entire community that they pick and choose who to complain about, and they pick lesbians. |
If that is the case, then I agree with you... but that still does not mean that Microsoft as a company hates lesbians and wishes to discriminate against them. If anything, it is the gaming community at fault, according to your very truthful statements, but still MS is not at fault.

Yes, they got a lot of gamerscore and a nice little garland for their avatars to wear.

I didn't say my argument was correct as listed. I said the FACT of this situation was correct as listed.
That would be:
And lesbian, no matter how you look at it or describe it, is still a TOPIC of sexual nature. Sexual orientation is a topic of sexual nature. It fits the rules. It can also relate to, hint at, or stand for something of sexual nature. Just because you view it differently yourself does not make these truths any less ... well... true.
If true these are really sad news. And weird. I mean, MS allowed Rockstar to show a fucking dick on GTA...
Is MS adopting ancient greeks' line of thought?
I guess this is a lesson we should all learn from before it happens to us eh?

This woman was not banned for being a lesbian!!!! This is not about discrimination!! She was banned for having text in the profile which relates to, hints at, is a topic of, or stands for something of sexual nature.And lesbian, no matter how you look at it or describe it, is still a TOPIC of sexual nature.

She was banned for mentioning a sexuality that other people dislike. It's a system that lets the community decide that one sexuality is offensive and can't be mentioned, while another sexuality is not offensive and can be mentioned. However, MicroSoft can't just absolve itself from this mess and let the community be the bigots. It's instituionalized heterosexism.
That's horrid
I think one of the reasons she may have stated 'lesbian' in her profile was in the hope of maybe finding some gamers mature enough for it not to be a real issue. It's tough wading through all the ugly prejudices on LIVE...
