I don’t see how tags that refer to sexual preference as a statement of fact can be described as ‘innuendo’. One wonders if tags such as theBlackergamer or Thedemonstrablymorehispanicgamer would receive the same treatment.

Xbox Live is an open forum that can be accessed by all age groups and as a result sexuality, dicussion or description of, isn't permitted.

Everybody knows this, he must have known it and I think M$ are pretty valid with their reasoning.

There's a lot of intolerance and abusive behaviour going on in Live but this is a seperate issue and it doesn't have anything to do with his M$ requiring a name change.

My 2c means quoting the last line of the post:

"sexuality simply not belong in gamertags, regardless of orientation"

You're playing a game not trying for a screw. I don't give a pants which way you swing or what you're into in the bedroom, just take out that asshole sniper yeah?
