If you visited Facebook this morning, you could have joined “I HATE GAYS,” “Kill All Gays,” and “AnTi GaYs!!!!!!!!!!!!!” — just three examples of many anti-gay hate groups that called Facebook home. But no longer.
This morning, at 11:30 AM EST, I published, “Facebook Or Hate Book?” and listed a total of fifteen anti-gay hate groups that called Facebook home. Tonight, around 8:30 PM, a reader commented, “I noticed many of the links are no longer valid. I hope they are gone for good.” And so I checked. Indeed, he is right! Of the fifteen anti-gay hate groups I spotlighted, all but three are no longer on Facebook. I’d call that a success!
Groups like, “STOP AIDS!!!!! KILL GAYS AN NIGGERS!!!!!!!!!,” “GAY ? news flash : we fuckin’ hate you !!,” and “Ban Same-Sex Marriage” are gone. I can’t promise they are gone for good, but I can say, “Thank you,” to Facebook, and to all you who shared the post via Facebook, Twitter, Buzz, and your own blogs.
The three that are still active?
I’m against gay marriage, and I will not keep quiet about it!
and, strangely, join if you hate homosexuals.
Together, we can do something about anti-gay hate groups!
