Anyways, what Microsoft is doing period is highly discriminatory. Most services provide a spot for preference allowing for straight, gay, lesbian, bi, bi-curious. An XBL profile is nothing different then a myspace, facebook, PSN, facethejury, etc profile making it so that if a person decides to post their preference, even if there is no field provided and they just do it in an "about me" section, it is perfectly a-ok to do so. If one is banned for publicly stating their preference there are some massive legal issues when you look at discrimination laws in the USA and many countries around the world. Microsoft is putting themselves in hole that they wont get out of if someone actually pushes this subject.

LMAO, you think lesbian life sites are visited more than porn sites? That is the most hilarious thing I have ever heard.

I just wont keep arguing because you dont understand Freedom of Expression in the USA and that the TOS goes against first amendment rights.

No it's not and you can skip the doom and gloom. It's happened several times already and Microsoft; if there was a case it'd be on the courts already. Because their ToS doesn't allow any kind of sexual reference, there's no discrimination involved from Microsoft. The discrimination comes from users, who are selective about what to report or not.

By the way, I'd like you to point me where it is written that you are allowed to state your sexual orientation (wether heterosexual or homosexual) within the context of online services.

Oh, Sony has a similar clause on their TOS. I wonder what would happen if a muslim living in Saudi Arabia reported a PSN profile making explicit the homosexual orientation of the user. It'd place Sony in a very difficult position. Either they deem it offensive or PSN could be declared illegal in a good chunk of the world.

Actually if you read both of those you will notice some extreme differences. Microsoft's is way more harsh. Sony just doesnt want any comments or imagery that reveal or try to recruit people into one idea. Sony's doesnt ban the mentioning of preference while Microsoft's does.

Wow, this is your worst argument yet. No TOS violates any constitutional rights. Want to know why? Because those TOS agreements are for private services where the company has complete control over the content The company can choose to not allow anything they want to on their service. Don't like it? Don't use their service. It is just like how a store can refuse to sell to anyone they damn well please.

Actually a store in Tampa was just closed down for that.
