Gay cause misunderstanding in place name Microsoft apologizes to Xbox users

A few days ago, the United States had a laugh and cry thing.　　Microsoft has banned the user from logging in by mistaking the city name of an American Xbox Live user for the user's disdain for homosexuality.　　On September 8, Microsoft apologized to the Xbox Live user, who was barred from logging in because of the company's mistakes. Moore, 26, who likes to play FPS games last week, logged on to Xbox Live to play the game. But the problem appears on his Xbox Live registration information. The registration information is written with Moore's city name Fort Gay (gay in addition to representing homosexuality, but also expressed pleasure, pleasure, etc.).　　Microsoft's Xbox Live Operations group said it was a fake place name for the purpose of despising homosexuality, and banned its login while deleting the relevant names in the registration information. Moore said it was thought that people who don't know might think I live in a gay village, and that the name of the city I live in may be mistaken for homosexuality. To this end, he contacted the Xbox Live operations team to explain that Fort Gay is indeed the name of his city. However, members of the Xbox Live Operations Group did not confirm, but told him that "if you fort gay into the registration information, you will delete your account, and will not return the prepaid 1-year user fee." "As a result, Moore can only provide Microsoft with the name code of the Fort Gay city registered in the U.S. Postal Administration."　　This made Microsoft confirm that Fort Gay was indeed a place name and apologized to Moore. In this respect, Xbox Live's operations team leader said, unfortunately, due to the company's internal staff error, led to the misunderstanding. If the staff were more careful, there would be no such misunderstanding.　　He also said that a careful investigation will be conducted in the future before users are barred from logging in. Earlier, Microsoft had been protesting by Xbox360 users who had homosexual tendencies because it stipulated that users should not disclose their sexuality in the registration information. They say Microsoft is despising homosexuals.　　So since March 5 this year, Microsoft has allowed users to fill out their own sexual, religious, and ethnic information in the Xbox Live registration information.
