Gay Gamers get X-rated by Xbox
Gay gamers are pink with rage after Microsoft banned camp nicknames from its Xbox multiplayer service.
Censors have told users of its Xbox LIVE subscription service that names or tags with the word "gay" in them are no longer allowed, in case they cause offence.
The ban also covers straight people with the word "gay" in their surname.
Software engineer Richard Gaywood, 30, was told his name broke rules concerning "sexual innuendo" and was ordered to choose another tag.
