Welcome to our Blog!

My partner and I were challenged by our "Gender, Culture, and Media" Professor to go out and change a piece of the world, and this blog is our attempt.

Think Twice stems from "think twice before you open your mouth." We want people to stop thinking it's okay to use language like "that's so gay," "fag/faggot," or "homo." So we are hoping that through this blog we will open your eyes and minds to how harmful this language can be and to make you think twice before you use these terms.

We aren't asking you to never use these terms again but we are asking you to consider how harmful these can be.

So remember to think twice and come back soon!

A New Project



Our project started out as a blog but has now developed into something completely different. The idea is the same but more refined.

We are first taking back one of the derogatory terms "homo" and making it apply to us all, "HOMOsapien" because we're all human and essentially all the same. The idea behind it is that everyone does things that are consider not to be normal; so why are homosexuals being put down just because they're doing something that does not fall under the heterosexual definition of normal.

So our project developed into a Pic-tition "Picture-Petition" where by taking a picture holding a sign that says "HOMOsapien" you are making a promise to make a conscious effort to no longer use derogatory terms to put down homosexuals (whether the terms are used intentionally or unintentionally).

We aren't asking anyone to change their beliefs, we are just asking people to respect each other because we're all humans.
