    Just saw this site pop up, thought I'd share it here:

    NoHomophobes.com

    Kind of crazy when you see the numbers rolling in real time.

    That is so gay.

    It's actually why I don't have a Twitter-- the stupidity in people that is usually well-hidden by one construct or another is actually encouraged out into the open, and all the filthy little corners are laid bare. I have little enough faith in humanity as it is. XD

    I was expecting the numbers to be much higher, honestly.

    Wow that's fucked up! People are so immature! I can't stand twitter and I don't understand it

    I don't think that site should be called 'no homophobes' because that doesn't make any sense

    Nearly 12,000 'faggot' tweets in five hours. Jesus.
    And people wonder why I don't have Twitter (or Facebook for that matter).

    Honestly, twitter is the worst at that. Maybe its just me, but on my Facebook I never see anything as bad as the tweets popping up on that page...That just cements that I am never getting a twitter ever.

    You do realise you only see the tweets of people you follow...? If you don't follow homophobes, then you won't have an issue (and if you follow extremely pro-queer people like Stephen Fry and Richard Dawkins then it's even better).

    That is quite disturbing... When do they reset the numbers? Daily, Monthly, Yearly, Or is this since the site's creation?

    Wow.
    I wasn't quite aware that the word faggot was still in such high use.
    It's funny to think these people don't realize they're being watched and judged.

    At the top you'll notice a tab for daily, weekly, and all time.

    sammy1: Good query. I think it's challenging the idea that there are no homophobes.
