NeoMalfoy commented on "Gay" Player Name Banned By Xbox Live

"Quote:" Lithium542 My real gripe is how they allow anti-black, anti-hispanic, and antisemitic, (and to a somewhat lesser extent, misogynistic) names to run rampant." Again pointing out the acceptability of using anti-gay remarks/sentiments. What This says to me as a gay man is that it's not acceptable to bash someone over their race/nationality/religion/gender but hey if your GAY it's open season. I also really do love all the comments along the lines of "Just shut-up about it!" "Don't flaunt it/why do you have to flaunt it?" What you call flaunting it we call living our lives, that's all we want is to live free of fear, unfortunately Gay-Hate or Homophobia is still alive and well just look at sites like youtube or myspace video and read some of the wonderful comments on some of the gay "blogs" or videos with one word comments like Fag, Faggot, Homo, Queer Fagett and the threats "I'll kill you fag" or the misinformation "AIDS From GOD you HELLBOUND HOMO!" or Negative sexually explicit stuff hinting at raping the poster simply to prove that the commenter is not a 'fag' Or how bout the stories in the comments about a young gay man/lesbians experiences with Bashing and hate see: [vids.myspace.com] for example. If minorites don't speak up for themselves then nothing changes, That's why we come out, that's why we talk about or same gender partners, that's why we rally at PRIDE!"
