#SignsYoSonIsGay - Something Amazing Is Happening on Twitter
Today on Twitter, a homophobic hashtag was launched, #SignsYoSonIsGay, with the intention of amassing an army of denigrating and "comical" slurs. Because homophobia is funny. Ha Ha! And at first, it worked.
However, something amazing has occurred today. Thousands of individuals (myself included) have countered the hate that was appearing rapid-fire by simply playing along and flooding the hashtag with messages of positivity. #signsYoSonIsGay He's the brave and beloved chaplain of the New York City Fire Department who became the first official casualty of 9/11. — Maer Roshan (@MaerRoshan) October 19, 2012 #signsyosonisgay He loves his husband & children more fiercely, appreciates them more because their legal standing is so precarious — randy roberts potts (@randyrpotts) October 19, 2012 http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/10/19/1147039/--SignsYoSonIsGay-Something-Amazing-Is-Happening ---------------------------------------- Nice!!
