Identifying Yourself As A Lesbian Gets You Banned On XBOX Live


Recommended Posts

And, anyways, it was just blacks who were discriminated against, it was everyone who was not white.

That should read: And, anyways, it was not just blacks who were discriminated against, it was everyone who was not white.

Um, is this in the rules? I doubt it. If it's not in the rules, how can she be banned for something that's not in the rules.

All these arguments on "You don't need to put that in your profile" are childish.

Karma - being gay is not just about having SEX with the same-sex. Grow up. Kthx.

Im doubtfull that this is the only reason she was banned. Im guessing there was more to it. maybe she was using the fact she is lesbian as a threat to others. I.e, if i dont win or if you shoot me in this game, im reporting you for shooting me because im lesbian.

Jesus I could see it now. "Let's all gang up and shoot the fags!" "All the gays should DIE!!" Immature kids. :pinch:

xbox live is like microsoft's country they decide what the rules are and when they need to make exceptions. if you don't like how they do things. p*** off and don't play on their servers. it's like living in america but asking everyone to shut up and stop exercising their right to free speech....

Yeah but you dont get discriminated against because you are straight so having a Straight Pride day makes no sense, just like having a White Pride day when black people were the minority and discriminated against.

Unfortunately this isn't the case anymore. Straight people are being descriminated against. Just take a look at what happened in California recently with regards to the ammendment that got passed (Ammendment 8 I think it was).

Various groups and newspapers descriminate against straights when it comes to anything with regards to straights and gays, they take the stance of gays over straights.

So you're statement isn't entirely accurate.

Now in saying that, I will say that descrimination against gays is far more prevalent and noticable.

^agreed.

Having sex with the opposite sex.

So that's all heterosexuals do? Have sex with the opposite sex? They don't eat, run, love, laugh, cry?

You are kidding right? Can you point out any laws gay people are trying to pass against straight people?

The question asked was "What is being straight about?" Other things have nothing to do with sexual orientation.

Most people are not robots controlled by their sexuality; fortunately, humanity is a little more interesting.

Now could someone, please in a forward manner tell me what :

Karma - being gay is not just about having SEX with the same-sex. Grow up. Kthx.
...is supposed to mean exactly?

It sounds nice and all, but seems like a rather pointless comment without some further explanation.

For the record, stating your sexual orientation in your profile on Xbox Live is grounds for suspension. I apologize if this has been mentioned already.

Proposition 8 in california. The people voted, it is law (note I'm not saying that I'm actually for this however).

Now gays are trying repeal this law. In effect they are making a law to repeal an existing law.

Nice retort. Basically you can't answer the question therefore you deflect.

Ever thought about being a politician?

No, I know flame-bait when I see it. ;)

Shakey snake or whatever. Being gay is not about having sex. It's about love, who you find attractive, etc. One can be gay WITHOUT having sex. Just like one can be straight without having sex.

It's really not a difficult explanation to understand, and I'm shocked I even had to explain it.

It happens all the time... laws change, new ones override old ones etc. Prop 'H'8 shouldn't have passed in the first place. How is this being discriminated against?

Because gays are descriminating against the will of the California people.

Doesn't matter if prop 8 should have passed or not. It went to vote and it did pass.

How are straight people being discriminated against when they passed a law that removed the rights of homosexuals to get married just like heterosexuals. Do you think its acceptable that straight people should be able to remove the rights of another human being because they disagree with it?

If anything its the straight people discriminating against gay people by removing the rights and privileges that the straight people take for granted.

Does anyone here introduce themselves as heterosexual everytime they fill out a forum profile, going to job interviews, meeting new people, etc.? I'm sick of this "In your face" crap where everyone who is gay simply must profess it at any given opportunity. If you're gay fine no problem, but there is no need to inform the rest of us constantly. Xbox live is a place for people to play games with one another, not a dating service. No one needs to know your sexual orientation to play COD with you :rolleyes:

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
