Rather than protect gays from being discriminated, it discriminated them from the outset. I like that change, but, like you, I worry about it being misused.

Seriously though, as much as I'm all for being able to express your sexual orientation openly, I understand where Microsoft were coming from when they decided to ban those words. In short, Xbox Live (or any online community for that matter) aren't the most mature apples on the tree. Just last night I encountered someone yelling "faaaaaagot" over and over while I was trying to snipe a guy off a turret. It makes me wonder if they are seriously behind this TOA change or just testing the water. I can't help but worry if it gets too overused and moms start complaining about their kids gaming with those evil gaymers, Xbox Live will end up "gay-free" yet again. Kinda makes me think about religious beliefs. As far as I know, it's still against the TOA to put on your profile: "My name is Bob. I'm 33, gay, AND a Christian."
