The new homosexual moralism: disagree you're branded a hater


    An interactive map released this week by U.S. geography students shows what regions in America originate the highest number of racist and homophobic posts on Twitter.

    The number of tweets with 'hateful' sentiments in a certain area is expressed in a range of colours from light blue to bright red, a style known as a heat map. In this case, the students have called it a "hate map."
  1. Students at Humboldt State University in Arcata, Calif., incorporated data from 150,000 tweets, focusing on 10 hateful words, as part of a larger project called "Geography of Hate." The students read each tweet individually to make sure the content was indeed an expression of hatred, and not some other use of the key words investigated. However, it is the students who are classifying the words and making a moral decision by stating they are hateful. For the homosexual community; the words dyke, fag, homo are deemed to be words of hate.
    When the Bible declares that homosexuality is a sin, I expect that to be hate speech. So why did these students not include: sin as hateful sentiment? Will the next map be a love map which will feature California pro-gays twitter comments? Perhaps the Christian Church could issue a adultery map or fornication map for TV shows and movies?
