Lampoon Tribune The most trusted news on the net. Facts first.
After an outpouring of demands by the LBGTQ Community for Microsoft to “do more” to promote the LBGTQ agenda, Microsoft has decided to offer its users 3 free months of its premium XBox Live service if they post a profile photo being in drag to their user Avatar for 7 days.
Xbox spokesperson Phil Spencer set the twitterverse a fire this morning by telling users that they have to do more to promote the LBGTQ community in a promotion they are dubbing: “just try it and play for free — unleash the queen”. Phil Spencer states:
Everyone says ‘I’m not racist’ or ‘I’m not a bigot’or ‘I have a gay cousin and love gay people’ but what exactly does this do for the LBGTQ? Not much. These LBGTQ people are clearly suffering from lack of not only acceptance but human rights that the rest of us all take for granted.
You want to know what the big dogs at Microsoft are going to do about it? Lead the way, that’s what. You ready? Any user who dresses up and drag with dress, wig, makeup and takes an upper body selfie for his Avatar gets three free months of our premium XBox Live service.
To verify that you use your REAL photo prior to payment, the user must link his Xbox Live account to Facebook and then verify his Facebook account with photo ID verification. This lets us cross reference photos from each account to ensure you are keeping up on your end of the deal. Drag queens are people too and after all we all a little queenly at times? Woot. Woot. *Phil fist bumps* Take the challenge if for nothing else, to put yourself in their shoes for an hour.
So far, hundreds of young boys have completed this LBGTQ challenge, resulting in what we assume many ransacked mother clothing drawers. But the message is clear, acceptance gets you so far. But including and recruiting, well that’s real progress.
Glad to see everybody coming together for this monumental Xbox event. What are you waiting for? Visit microsoft.com today and unleash the queen in you.
The Tribune asked Sony Executives if they are considering doing something similar for their PlayStation users… they simply posted a Facebook update stating that they promote “no LBGTQ shit households in Japan”.
