[warning for multiple uncensored slurs (when you hover on the top menu) given in reference to what words were studied]
A team of researchers at California’s Humboldt State University have produced a visual representation to show where the most hateful, bigoted speech on twitter originates. The Geography of Hate shows which regions in the United States produce the most homophobic, racist, and anti-disability twitter traffic. You can search the country by specific slurs, none of which we want to print here. According to the MIT Technology Review, the researchers used an algorithm to develop the map but had actual people review 150,000 tweets to ensure that the slurs were truly being used in a derogatory context.
The Gay “Marry Me” - Eurovision 2013 Parody for Marriage Equality (Finland)
people saying that finland’s eurovision entry was a “tribute to (marriage) equality”
that’s it, that’s the joke
kissing your lady backup dancer during a live performance in the hope of getting votes is not a tribute to anything
you can still like the song! you can still use it in your marriage equality playlist or w/e!
you can still get mad about the censorship of a same-gender kiss without pretending the song was some uber-progressive pro-gay song when actually it was clearly the recycling of the old trope of “women nags boyfriend into marrying her”
maybe you could also try caring that another straight person is attempting to profit from affecting queerness, though?
maybe you disagree (which you’re free to w/e) but i’m tired of giving straight people credit for being progressive when they’re using us as a gimmick
i hope you enjoy those 13 points, finland (ʘ‿ʘ✿)
we’ve invented sprays and traps to get rid of every type of of pest except entitled straight people
