Ban on gay-friendly WoW guilds attracts warning

[angelophile]

Lambda Legal, a gay-rights group, has sent a letter to the lawyers at Blizzard asking them to stop discriminating against gay players.
World of Warcraft's moderators have been shutting down gay-friendly guilds in the game on the tortured grounds that letting people mention that they're gay will encourage jerks to say nasty things about gay people, and since saying homophobic things violates WoW's policies, ignorant jerks shouldn't be tempted into being homophobes.

Lambda Legal's letter takes Blizzard to task for this bizarre ruling and warns them that this is a legally and morally dubious stance to take.

Now, I wonder if they clamped down so hard on female gay players...
