Moo! Flap! Hug!

Hello everyone,

Dr. J. Nelson Amaral of the University of Alberta is running a study about homophobia online. This is a scourge that we need to eliminate, and I know it's a subject that is very meaningful to many SDA members. You can help! Head to: http://www.nohomophobesresearch.com/

Thanks Smiley

No pain, no gain

Oh yeah! I've helped out with that before, and it's a good reminder to look at it again. It's really easy and quick to contribute Smiley

Honestly, groups like SDA have been pretty darn good with things like this. We have had terrible stuff in marathon chats, so I realize it's not gone completely from the web; however, things have definitely been getting better online. It'll be interesting to see what his study says.

Thanks for sharing this Poxnor! I try to keep things in my chat as respectful as possible but things can get out of control fast. I hope everyone signs up and contributes, its quite easy and honestly filling answering the questions is eye opening, a every good reminder that there is still work to be done to make the internet a better place for everyone.

Is there something like this for transphobia as well? I pick up a lot of flak online over it.

I would hope there is or will be something for this as well. Sad state of affairs either of these exist. x.x
