Users of Microsoft’s Xbox Live online video game service are now free to express their sexuality in their gamertags (the names that others see when online). While users have been banned from the service in the past for having gamertags such as “thegayergamer,” the latest terms of service allow them to use the following terms:
Lesbian
Gay
Bi
Transgender
Straight
The fact that gamers are no longer limited in the expression of their sexuality is a obviously a good thing. Unfortunately, a number of 15-year-old boys are likely to use these changes to further fuel their homophobic attacks.
