SXSW Interactive 2015
Everyone's a Little Gay. Thanks, Social Media!
We challenge you to find us the most severe homophobe who won’t engage with a Facebook post from George Takei. OK, well, maybe that’s extreme, but the fact is that social networks are exhibiting statistical evidence that they’re becoming a big front for the love moment.
Love is Love.
It Gets Better.

Is everyone finally able to admit they’re just a little gay? Or is it that dissent is finding its voice elsewhere? What is the true impact of social media in the battle for acceptance? A digital media expert and a comedian in the brand business - both of whom are a little gay - will talk about how the love online is making a difference in the larger world.
