How Hetero Is Your Twitter?

queerty1hetero

Speaking of gay-oriented travel campaigns, we’d be remiss without mentioning Stockholm’s latest ploy to get tech-savvy gays interested in visiting.

The city’s gay pride group launched a “How hetero are you?” Twitter analyzer as one of many ways to entice you to stop by for pride, which kicks off July 27.

It goes like this: Enter your Twitter username, and it’ll decide what percentage straight your 140 character messages are based on your record of mentioning things like “gay” or “Prop 8.”

No surprise here: It decided Queerty’s Twitter feed was just one percent hetero. We’re off to see which of our followers are gay.
