Months ago we heard of homophobia was inside Xbox Live, when a user was banned for being a lesbian. Or at least say so openly. And after his complaint other users said they had been banned for his homosexuality.

According to Microsoft, what happened is that they not use words like gay or lesbian for users not to use them in a derogatory manner. Which is quite correct, but both can be read as we believe that these words are insults.

Well, a year later, Xbox Live and allows you to specify your gender and your sexual orientation. If you like, of course, that does not now require that you leave the closet. Since for many people and many in the world of video games still underrepresented homosexual, and a hostility, in general, towards homosexuals.

According to the new and improved code of conduct allowed the words gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and straight. All other terms to describe your sexual orientation, are considered insults, so can not be used.
