Yep. I mentioned a lot of that in the article. That’s kind of why I think all of this is strange and I’m wondering where the mixed messages from Microsoft are coming in. It feels like overall vibe of the company is extremely proactive about gay rights in the work place, but there are some things that don’t add up right and it’s hard to know how to feel about any of it.

I can’t speak for Lionhead but I do know multiple gay and lesiban Microsoft workers in Redmond who have been quite happy working there. Microsoft also stood up the a homophobic bully preacher named Ken Hutchenson in Seattle and Microsoft supported the Civil Union legislation in Washington State.

It sounds like Microsoft wants to just cover their eyes and point at the policy on the wall to avoid taking a solid stance. It’s a shame that exhibiting tolerance and acceptance has to be kept on the down low in order to please the majority. It’s even more disappointing that their stance has been so productive on paper and lacks consistency when put to practice. I hope they realize this issue isn’t just going to go away, and that their are pro active means of demonstrating true equality and concern for their employees and customers. No one is expecting Microsoft to build a float at a gay pride parade. I personally just want to see the walk match the talk.
