Of course not: it's sexual discrimination, and I'm pretty sure that it would break some laws in UK too. I don't understand what do you mean though: does XboxLive T&C's say that you can't connect if you're homosexual?

Also, under UK law the liscence clause is utter, and illegal, bullshit. If it's a liscence, then it has to be sold as a liscence, not a purchase. Worse, if many EULA's are to be taken as a whole, then they are selling a service, not a product, and the companies are commiting multiple illegal acts per-"liscence".
Well, I don't know how does it work in UK, but here if I buy a videogame I am actually buying a licence. It is sold as a licence, yes. And most softwares are sold as services, yes. The fact that I buy that service in a Mall doesn't change anything... and I know that many companies commit multiple illegal act about it (i.e. installing more than the allowed number of installation), but as I said before: just because people does it, it doesn't make it authomatically right.
