I’m just happy I don’t have to start putting **** references in my gamer tags to let girls know I’m not interested

Honestly, I’m not too worried about it. I’ll start worrying when they put a racial sexual preference.

I just hope sexuall,y they let you click or have the option for ‘both’. Bisexualism *cough greediness cough* exists too.

Well, the reason why it’s not even allowed to have such gamertags is because people use them to joke around. Why can’t the gay community focus on dealing with that first and then deal with this? Not only will you have more gay/lesbian gamers playing, but there’ll be more people abusing the right. Soon you won’t be able to tell if such a gamertag is a joke or not. :/

I’m for that since being gay or lesbian is double edged. People are more easily to accept a female tagname like “i eat boxes” and think that’s fine, but a male gamer under “Ifondlejoysticks” is going to get banned. Lesbians seem to have it easier, since gaming is male-dominated, at least when it comes to complaining. Despite them not argeeing to sexual perferences before, once they allowed you to put male or female then had voice chat, sex has been a big part of the X-box live world since. Why not at least give them a reason to discriminate openly if they can read a sex and sexual orientation ahead of time instead of finding out later?

what i only worry are the younger gamers, tagnames like “ilovetosleepwithboys” or “imgaygrabmyjoystick” or any other double meaning game tags might upset them or their conservative parents, or maybe categorize the gay,lesbian, etc. under ADULT section? Everyone has a right to be heard, but there’s no law to force everyone to listen, right? So i believe it’s the same case with this issue, everyone has a right to express their sexuality through their profiles however doesn’t mean you can broadcast your profiles to anyone or add them to your friends list when the recipient disables adult or sexual related in xbox live

It’s just a word, however I would just care more about the gaming experience then the players name.
