| ... players who have advertised their guilds as "GBLT-friendly" have lately been warned off by Blizzard moderators, who cite a rule against sexual discrimination in censoring the players. When pressed for explanations, they offer the genuinely bizarre excuse that if queer players are allowed to tell other players about their sexual orientation, that it might arouse discriminatory or unkind remarks from those players, and that would violate the anti-discrimination rules of the game. |

I see nothing wrong with that if they also ban groups oriented around (RL) race, gender, political affiliation, religion, age, etc. I don't -like- the practice they're using, but I think equality and even handed application is more significant as a concern.
