Xbox Suspends Gay Gamer For Calling Himself A "Homosexueller" Who "Likes Cupcakes"

Despite Xbox recently changing its policy to allow folks to describe their sexual orientation in their gamer profile, Super Street Fighter IV fan Shmoo found his Xbox Live account suspended for breaking their Code of Conduct. His gamer bio states, “Bio Ich bin ein homosexueller Mann in einer großen schlechten Stadt. Ich mag kleine Kuchen und Cheeseburgers.” Which translates from German to, “I am a gay man in a big bad city. I like cupcakes and cheeseburgers.” This, apparently, was verboten.

Suspended for being openly gay., Once again, Microsoft’s unjust hammer strikes. [Gaymer]
