Unveiling the Truth: Is the Internet Really Gay? One Website's Controversial Findings

Recent studies conducted by IsItGay.org, a website dedicated to uncovering what makes an object gay, has uncovered some shocking findings about 'gayness'. The website creator, who remains anonymous, shared the details of the studies with Homo.news in an exclusive interview.

The first study involved users visiting the IsItGay.org website and typing in any website they wanted, in hopes of being shown the ‘gayed-up’ version of that website. Once the website is loaded, the label 'Gay' floats on top of the website, making it difficult for users to interact with the underlying website, “it quickly becomes quite frustrating having to constantly navigate around this imposing label," said the website creator.

Unfortunately, many websites refuse to participate, which results in a quite humorous error message, but ultimately means that the internet is resoundingly 'Not Gay'. But don't despair, because IsItGay.org has come up with some creative solutions.

The website shifted its focus to a new iteration called Vote.IsItGay.org, where users were presented with a series of objects and asked to label them as 'Gay' or 'Not Gay'. Objects such as water, doctors, roses, succulents, and even fanny packs are all up for debate. The website then gave a 'gayness' score to all the objects based on users' responses."This is what that led me to the discovery that one of the only things gayer then playing football is going to therapy," said the website creator.

But IsItGay.org didn't stop there.

“After looking at the results from Vote.IsItGay.org what I realized was that I wasn’t that interested in whether or not these objects were independently gay,” said the creator, “but rather I wanted to know how their 'gayness' compared to the 'gayness' of other objects. I wanted to know what the gayest object was.”

For this next iteration viewers were given two objects and then asked to decide which one was gayer. "Sort of like a Gay March Madness," said the creator. Subaru vs. Lamp Shade? Lesbians vs. Frogs? The possibilities are endless!

But what's really interesting is the Kinsey scale created by the website. "I think rather than a measure of 'gayness,' this is a measure of the gay resilience of these objects," explained the website creator, "and that's where we see things like 'Subaru,' 'Cold Brew,' and 'Fanny Packs' rating really high. I don't know, maybe there's a little more rigidity to their 'gayness?'”

And to all those tea set and garden spade enthusiasts out there, don't worry, your objects may not have fared so well in the matchups, but when viewers were asked whether or not they thought they were gay, these objects were overflowing with 'gayness.'

In the end, the data from IsItGay.org suggests that the internet may not be as gay as we all hoped, but it's up to us to make it gayer. So let's get labeling!
