Sick of homophobic twats on Twitter?

The Institute for Sexual Minority Studies and Services at the University of Alberta has created a social mirror website titled No Homophobes that tracks the use of slurs on Twitter. 

The site strives to put an end to the casual use of homophobic language. Tolerance of racist and sexist language is on the decline, yet slams against queers continue to be prevalent, the site states. 

Visit the official site to see the counter and tweets that have recently used gay slurs. You can use #NoHomophobes on Twitter to show your support.

...and yet you felt that "twats" was an acceptable slur to use in this post. Nice to see that hypocrisy is still alive and well in the community!
