Many of today's youth believe it's OK to use homophobic language as long as they don't intend for it to be mean-spirited or offensive. This project holds up a social mirror to show how frequently and casually this audience uses hurtful language. Using Twitter's API, tweets featuring "so gay," "no homo," "faggot" and "dyke" were pulled, tracked and displayed in real time on nohomophobes.com. Visitors can pause the real-time stream and click on any of the tweets to be directed to the originating Twitter profile and interact with the tweeter, if they chose to do so.
