It asks you to submit your Twitter name, select your gender, then it calculates how heterosexual you are, — based on your tweets.
So of course I entered my handle, @CreativeTweets...
CreativeTweets is 69% Hetero
Being happily married to a woman, I was a little alarmed to see that my online self was almost a third gay. Is it my advocacy of equal marriage? My support for anti-hate campaigns? Or maybe it was that time I RTed Lady Gaga while drunk...
Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I thought I'd try a few celebrities to calibrate this f*cker.
FINALLEVEL is 69% Hetero
Okay, so Ice T and I are equally straight, and equally on the downlow.
PerezHilton is 62% Hetero
Perez Hilton is only slightly less gay than me? WTF? Let me check @Queerty...
Queerty is 1% Hetero
Now I suspect maybe Perez is the one with issues.
For one last check, I entered the feed of sticky ladmag @FHM_Australia:
FHM_Australia is 72% Hetero
Well, okay then. I guess I'll be staying with my team.
70% - Detected words: "bitch, coming out, bent, shopping, cheeks"
ReplyDeleteWow. 58%. That's kind of surprising, but then again, not really, since I imagine they're probably getting orientation mixed in with gender performance.
ReplyDeleteSo not so much "How hetero are you?" but more like "How hetero do you present yourself?"
'87% hetero: found words "gay", "milk", "pink", "shop", "bike".'
ReplyDeleteUm ... ok. Are those words supposed to account for the 13% or the 87%?
For fun, I tried analyzing my work twitter feed and got 78%
ReplyDelete72%. I dunno - sounds kinda high to me, based on the number of Douglas Sirk films I've seen (and loved).
ReplyDeleteForgot to do this when I first saw the post, iPhone doesn't play nice with the site (of course)
ReplyDelete66% hetero: Found words "available", "nhl", "bum", "baby formula", and "sugar"
