Other than maybe a quick "hello" to the chat room or a request to "veto", I didn't say anything first or taunt anyone. What was said by these players was done with no provocation on my part. The vast majority of the times I wouldn't even respond back so the audio would be clear.
Things I didn't include in this video are the betrayals (people on my team killing me), players asking me NOT to party up, or all leaving mid-game so that I'm all alone.
Not everything in this video was said with hate. I can take a joke, and I never took offense to what was said in it. My purpose for this video was only to raise awareness. Next time you're interacting with a gay person, even an obvious one that has gay written all over him/her, be sensible. They're not asking for it, that's just who they are, and unlike me, they may in fact be hurt by your comments.
Finally, please stop using the words faggot and "that's gay". There are so many other deragotory terms in the English vocab, be original and leave gays out of your put downs.

Answers to your questions:
Yes I'm gay.
"Gayboy" was actually already taken so I added the xxx, which is very commonly used to pad gamertags.
I've stopped recording my gameplays.
I blurred the gamertags because I didn't feel it was right to single out anyone.
I recorded a total of 11 nights. I have a lot more footage...
Homophobia is a term used to describe the fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals.It can also mean hatred, hostility, disapproval of, or prejudice towards homosexuals, or homosexual behavior or cultures.
update Dec 22nd 2008: Thank you for the hundreds of emails and messages you've sent me. 99% of them have been encouraging and positive. Sorry for not getting back to all of them. I got a PC right after I posted the video a year ago and been playing on that instead. I logged onto xbox and noticed my gamertag had been flagged earlier this year and I had to change it. Now just waiting for Halo 4 :)

See, I don't really get the part about "stop using the words faggot"... In my neighborhood, "Faggot" did not necessarily mean "Homosexual", it meant "faggot". Faggot = Bad, homosexual = fine.
Instead of asking that half the country change their vernacular, perhaps your efforts should be distancing the word from the gay community.
And wow, people are pretty fucking cruel, then again, what do you expect out of the Halo community, arguably the most retarded group of the retarded XBL comm...
If my gamertag was IRISHPRIDE or something similar, to think I'd never have someone call me an alcoholic would be naive. But I also doubt anyone would threaten to hang me either.
My point is; if you advertise your sexual preference with a namebadge you could probably expect a few small minded people to voice their opinions. I'm not excusing it; I'm merely saying your sexuality shouldn't define who you are as it will only draw up more boundaries than it knocks down.
All i said was that he wasn't a fag because he has no harley. It was a joke lol. Don't take this so personally lol. But you know, You win this conversation! You won a lollipop! Its pink =P !!!
