Firm apologises for saying it would not process LGBTQ+ payments

Stripe said the information given by its support staff to some customers was "totally wrong."

But when some called to complain, they were told the ban in fact extended to all LGBTQ+ content - including material which wasn't adult or explicit in nature. But on Wednesday, reports emerged on social media that some staff working for Stripe had told customers the sale of LGBTQ+ content in its entirety would not be allowed either. In a letter to the firms' bosses, it claimed games were listed for sale online which included themes of "rape, incest and child sexual abuse".
