Microsoft, Lionhead settle alleged homophobia suit

article published on 6 April, 2009

Microsoft has quietly announced they have settled with game developer Jamie Durrant who had sued the software giant over alleged homophobia within the company. Durrant was asking for GBP 45,000 in the case, in which he claimed Microsoft's HR department "blatantly disregarded" his complaints of homophobic abuse within Microsoft's Lionhead Studios. "We are pleased to have reached an ... [ read the full article ]

Sorry if something happened to you to make you gay or whatever. the truth is i don't care if your gay or not. Just be aware you choose to be gay nobody made you i also don't think you should have all the privileges of real Male&Female married couple.

As for Microsoft i can officially call bullocks. i know how those policy work and are completely in the supervisor hands and if the supervisor was part of it then there was no way in hell he could have done or told anyone about it.

the gay gene was discovered during the human genome project, no one chooses to be gay they just are or they aren't its part of someones genetic makeup.

If those emails were true I am glad he got some money and is no longer working for them, there is no need to discriminate against gay people in the workplace or anywhere for that matter.

So does this mean there was just one big huge hit of genetic screw ups that just mysteriously hit millions of individuals accross the nation so hard it appeared to be a trend when Ellen announced she was gay? So I take it there must be 3 genes then.. the gay, bi and straight genes?

I belive some individuals certainly are born gay thats just the way they are from the time they are born and the things they do clearly display this, but more than not anymore people are just claiming to be gay as a fad it seems.

"CHOSE TO BE GAY"?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PISS OFF YOU BLOCK-HEADED edited by ddp!!!!!!!

I'm sorry AD but I've got to unleash on this guy. No one "chooses" to be gay. That's like saying people can control their emotions. Harness maybe but control no. People don't just wake up and say "What a beautiful day and since it's Wednesday, I'm going to like the same sex." I hope someone punches you in the head so hard that you wind up in the hospital forgetting your lopsided, head-up-your-ass way of thinking. While you're in the hospital..........I will wish that an orderly sticks a rubber fist edited by ddp.

You're the reason the world is as intolerant as it is.

And FYI........you're no doubt wondering if I'm gay. Not that I would care either way but I'm not. I just have enough respect for fellow man to see through the B.S. that people like you dish out. Have some integrity and learn to have more compassion and try...........just TRY to develop some more common sense! Though I'm aware that's asking too much. Please don't have children because you will no doubt breed hate and ignorance in them.

I totally agree a lot of people are claiming to be gay as part of a fad, but like what lissenup said you don't just wake up one day and say I like the same sex, its not a choice its just how you are and religious people and other intolerant groups need to realize not everyone believes the same crap as they do and stop pushing their crazy fairy tale believes on others, if anyone has seen religilous they know exactly what I am talking about with that place that trys to turn gay people straight for Jesus that shit just makes me sick I can not believe we have that many idiots in our country

okay sorry for ranting I'm done now

Abusive language doesn't help anyone when trying to make a case, and if you enjoy posting on AD, I would suggest avoiding it before admins ban you, regardless of your position on sexual preferences.

This is amazing. Microsoft is known to be pro-gay. They make political contributions to "anti-discrimination" causes. And like most big employeers, they claim to be an "Affirmative Action" employeer.

I don't know anything about Lionhead.

There is also a gene for: pedophilia, thievery, psychosis, schizophrenia, and other elements of human nature. Because there is a gene for it does not give reason to embrace (and glorify) it.

If a priest is found to be gay, he should be fired, or asked to step down IMMEDIATELY. If you don't wish to follow the rules of whatever "club" or "church" you're in..then leave and form your own. Rules are established for a good reason. Same with the Boy Scouts and other, lets say, "alternative" lifestyles".

If I wanted to become a Muslim, or Buddhist..I wouldnt march into their temple and demand that everyone embrace Christ, or Vishnu.

Since gays claim they should be accepted because of a natural urge or gene, then why are they not out advocating for child molesters, bestiality, polygamy, and rapists? Afterall, common genetic links have been found in all.

I guess it is okay for Adam to like Steve but not okay but Adam to like his pet goat. Where is Europe in advocating for polygamy? Who can argue that people are naturally attracted to more than one partner?

Double standard . . .

Societal norms are very arbitrary. Remember that. Back in the day, it was ideal for a grown man to take a fertile 12 year old woman as a wife. That same man would be considered a mentally ill child predator today. It's the reverse with homosexuality where a homosexual would be considered mentally ill but is now considered normal. Basically for something to be right or wrong, it all depends on the whims of our human society. The age of consent is 13 in Japan whereas it's 18 in many American states. Whose right? Whose wrong? These arbitrary rules are a joke.

I find it amusing how people are so quick to say "eww" to social conventions like a grown man taking on a young bride that used to be very popular for a long, long time and still is in many parts of the world. Who are you supposed to believe? Some snobbish, self-serving politician (the same ones that tell you that piracy is theft) that makes arbitrary rules or mother nature? I don't think nature would make us mature at an early age without a reason. And with homosexuality, you see it in the animal kingdom as well so it's hard to argue that it's unnatural.

No one is arguing it is not a natural feeling. I am sure that gay guy is feeling something in his pants when he stares at Fabio.

On the other hand, I am sure Jeffrey Dahmer was feeling the same thing as he molested those young boys, murdered them, re-molested their dead bodies, and ate their flesh at the same time. So if we are going to argue that something is okay just because you feel the natural urge, we will have anarchy.

how does being gay hurt anyone I just don't get why some people feel so strongly about it, to me it seems like they are scared of it because it is different then what they are use to, its so stupid how intolerant some people are, comparing gay people to pedophiles and jeffrey dahmer is ridiculous, killing and raping people is wrong regardless of genetics, being gay doesn't hurt anyone or change anyone's life besides the gay person themselves so if it doesn't affect your life or the people around you whats the point of hating it or being so against it?

As i said i don't care if you hang that way, 2 of my cousins are gay and they never displayed feminine like behavior till they where about 11. My aunt even dressed one of them as a girl till he was old enough to realize that he didn't belong in dresses.

Everything is a choice, whether we have the genes for it not. every once in awhile i get the urge to go shoot some rounds into things doesn't mean i do. .44 rounds are expensive anyhow and its against the law.

So as long as Billy Bob is molesting his pet goat and both are smiling, no one is getting hurt and everything is fine? What is Billy Bob wants 20 wives and they are all okay about it. Everyone is happy. Or how about Billy Bob and his sister Mary Ann? They grow up and want to get married. I suppose using your argument as long as no one gets hurt and they all consent, it is all right.

Okay . . . I guess all the homosexuals out there need to start advocating for bestiality, incest, and polygamy. Don't be hypocrites now.

IF Billy Bob wants to do those things and isn't hurting anyone why the hell is it any of your business and why do you care? No one is telling you to have sex with your sister or a donkey but if its what people want to do and it doesn't concern you whats the point of getting all bent out of shape about it, not everyone is perfect some people are just weird and do weird things just because you find it disgusting or wrong doesn't mean it shouldn't be allowed

I agree, they are the same thing. So according to your very statement, as long as a girl is legal age of consent, which usually ranges anywhere from 14 to 18, her father can divorce the mom and have sex with his daughter, or maybe even molest them both at the same time as long as they are all smiling. When the son gets old enough he can join in the family fun. I guess we can call that incestuous polygamy. Then when the family dog gets involved, and all are still smiling, we can add bestiality.

Make sure you get out and advocate for this now, because in your own words, it's the same thing as homosexuality.

I didn't say anything like they are the same thing, I said since it doesn't concern you and you have nothing to do with it why the hell do you care? And there aren't a bunch of people who sex with animals organizing and protesting but gay people are, there are a huge group of them who want the same rights and happiness as straight people so why do you want to deny them of that do you feel that you are better than them simply because you are straight?

also I can tell you are a republican you probably voted for McCain and you are probably religious am I close?

Are you being a bigot? Are you telling me that gays deserve marriage but incestuous polygamists do not? What if it makes them happy to be life partners with their chihuahua? Only if they get out and march will you give them equality?

You advocate it, but back down and refuse to stand by it. If you truly believe in man on man love, the there should be nothing wrong with man on daughter love, or man on son love, or man on dog on son love.

Don't feel bad. I am sure many people feel the same as you.

the things you are coming up with are ridiculous the funny thing is you are going to have to deal with gay marriage sooner or later, I don't see it becoming illegal any time soon, there are becoming way less intolerant people like you in the world and more people like me who are willing to accept people how they are and not mold them into what you want them to be. So go pray to your fake fairy tale God that I am wrong, but not everyone is the same as you so get used to it.

Ever hear of nambla?

But, how does this debate always end up at "gay marrige"?

I don't believe Microsoft, as a company is any more or less bigoted than any other US company. On the other hand, that particular department, and specifically its manager is out of control and deserves to be fired. There is no excuse for any kind of insulting behaviour to occur of any kind, homosexual or otherwise.

Well other animals seem to have functioning societies despite having homosexual behaviour in their ranks. Homosexuality won't lead to anarchy for human societies. Humans in my opinion, should mind their own business more and stop interfering so much in other people's affairs. Unfortunately, if you want to live in civilization, you have to be subject to mob rule. And the mob isn't always very rational and likes to change the rules as they go along.

Gallagher

I try not to get involved with petty internet arguments but you actually seem to really believe your non argument so im going explain in very simple terms why you wrong. Social differences cant be lumped all together.

pediphiles: Smiling or not, a child cant consent to sex, this is why pedophilia is wrong, as both parties are not consenting adults.

bestiality: We can not comumicate with animals, for all we know farmer joe's favourate sheep, enjoys it just as much as farmer joe. But as we cant talk there is no way the sheep can consent.

THESE ARE STRAIGHT WRONG, IN ALL SITUATIONS AS ONE PARTY CANT CONSENT.

polygamy: Traditional thinking that comes from a time when woman had no rights, the woman involved have had a life time of religious veiws cast on them, are they consenting? This subject for another day. There are other free thinking people that share a relationship with multiple people, for obvious reasons i would love a second wife if there was no jealousy, wouldnt you?

GREY AREA.

Incest: Often gets mixed up with pedophilia, whats wrong with incest if it involves two concenting adults? In what way does this harm anyone? Where do you think we all came from? Some mutation is good for the gene pool.

Homosexuality: I think you get my points by now, two concenting adults no harm done to anyone. Simple as that.


I would like to ask you know Gallagher are you so normal and perfect that you feel its your right to judge others? No? Oh right your just an arrogant hate monger.

Not that I would defend Gallager... but there's a few problems here.

Quote:
pedophiles: Smiling or not, a child cant consent to sex, this is why pedophilia is wrong, as both parties are not consenting adults.

Pedophilia, sex with the underage? Who defines "underage". At what age does one get labeled a pedophile? An arbitrary number to define such things is seldom correct. There are many people under the age of consent who are perfectly capable of making that decision while there are plenty of people over the age of consent who will be incapable of being rational while making that decision forever. The age of consent is not even universal across the US, let alone, the world.
The age of consent is created to satisfy a societal need. It has no basis in reality or the level of maturity of the person. Yet, it's an important concept that helps our society to be civilized.

Quote:
bestiality: We can not communicate with animals, for all we know farmer Joe's favorite sheep, enjoys it just as much as farmer Joe. But as we cant talk there is no way the sheep can consent.

Are you comparing animals to humans? As if animals had the right to consent? Does a horse consent to pulling the cart or the dog consent to getting his testicles removed?
No, again this rule is in place to keep our society civilized. There is no actual, real problem with bestiality, other than the social stigma. It is seen as base and carnal and not acceptable but really, what's the real human harm? An animal is property, not human and as such has only the right to exist without being mistreated. It is society that defines bestiality as mistreatment, not the animal.

Quote:
polygamy: Traditional thinking that comes from a time when woman had no rights, the woman involved have had a life time of religious views cast on them, are they consenting? This subject for another day. There are other free thinking people that share a relationship with multiple people, for obvious reasons I would love a second wife if there was no jealousy, wouldn't you?

Polygamy is, in many cases, a choice made by both parties. I'm no Mormon so please accept my apologies but as I understand it the Mormon who believes in polygamy believes that this is a VERY IMPORTANT religious aspect of their lives and when they are denied this then they are being denied a very important religious right. Both parties consent. Usually, both parties are adults.
But again, society has decided that polygamy is not good for it. It should be shunned. There is no real human problem with having many wives. Many societies have existed for thousands of years while practicing polygamy.

Quote:
Incest: Often gets mixed up with pedophilia, whets wrong with incest if it involves two consenting adults? In what way does this harm anyone? Where do you think we all came from? Some mutation is good for the gene pool.

Incest has very dire consequences, particularly if it carries on over several generations. It has ACTUAL real consequences to society and the physical human being. Incest is shunned for societal reasons but it is also shunned for very real physical reasons. Any society which practiced incest as a normal behavior would do irreparable harm to the human condition and that society would die.

Legal age of consent in the US ranges from 14 to 18, even younger if they are married in some states with parental consent. So in your eyes, it is okay for a 14 year old boy to have sex with his 80 year old grandfather. Both consent. In fact, they should be able to get married.

Okay, what if the bonobo chimp molests the guy and the guy just turns around and allows it? Then it is okay in your eyes?
Quote:
polygamy: Traditional thinking that comes from a time when woman had no rights, the woman involved have had a life time of religious veiws cast on them, are they consenting?
Funny, last time I checked polygamy is not a guy taking more than one wife, but rather a person taking more than one spouse. The practice of a guy with more than one wife is known as polygyny. Women can and actually do take more more than one husband in some societies--a practice known as polyandry. So don't be sexist and stereotype men when it comes to polygamy. The practice goes both ways.
Quote:
Incest: Often gets mixed up with pedophilia, whats wrong with incest if it involves two concenting adults? In what way does this harm anyone? Where do you think we all came from? Some mutation is good for the gene pool.
Okay, so as we said as long as the girl is legal age of consent, perhaps 14, her father can have sex with her. Or I suppose since we have so many female teachers having sex with their middle school male students nowadays, it can be a 40 year old mother having sex with her 15 year old son. maybe even a family orgy.
Quote:
Homosexuality: I think you get my points by now, two concenting adults no harm done to anyone. Simple as that.
Of course I get your point, but we live under a system of laws. Government is the legitimate use of force to control human behavior. It is all natural for a man to what to kill or harm another man at points. Do we allow it? No. Every law discriminates against someone. If we allowed every natural feeling to prevail, we would live in a state of anarchy.

This argument that it is two consenting adults could be used in countless arguments. We would have to legalize dueling and allow people to kill other people if they wanted to fight. We would have to allow nudity in all cases. We would have to allow people complete freedom of speech even if it was obscene, or threatened others. There is no end to where this would go.

I would like to ask you know Gallagher are you so normal and perfect that you feel its your right to judge others? No? Oh right your just an arrogant hate monger.
Since you attempt to cite the the Bible, let me educate you on the very verse you use. It states that we are not to judge unless we are to be judged ourselves. In other words, we cannot be hypocrites and place ourselves above the word. It then reads: "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine." If you see a mistake, take action and correct it.
