The final data will serve as:
- A snapshot of contemporary English queer vernacular. We believe archiving queer vernacular to be of historical and linguistic interest, especially in a time where online resources for LGBTQ+ communities are disappearing at an alarming rate.
- A benchmark for evaluating language models on queer vernacular. Social media comments authored by queer users are more likely to be censored, due to hate-speech detection systems having negative and false associations between queerness and toxicity.

Hi all!
We are curating SLAyiNG, a dataset of queer slang. To ensure the quality of the final data, we are asking the community for help with annotation.
