Gay Trending

There is this cool website called Google Trends, and it shows you a graph on how often a term is searched for, relative to the total number of searches globally. It also gives the list of the countries that searches that term the most often. The trending only starts from 2004, but none the less it’s interesting to see what people have been googling over the past few years. Being a science student, I have to admit that graphs get me excited, LoL… So I did a few random searches on gay topics…

I found that some gay topics are actually correlated to each other…

Gay Sex



Anal Sex



Gay Porn




These searches spiked in 2006, and I’m not sure why… but maybe that was the year that a lot of gays came to term with their own sexuality and came out to themselves. Something lil ol Ricky took too long to do… Something worth mentioning here is that Malaysia seems to have made it into the top five for both searches of Gay Sex and Anal Sex… Bearing in mind that we only have a population of twenty-eight million… That’s undoubtedly a very amazing achievement. LoL!

Other searches are more cyclical, for example the term Mardi Gras…

Mardi Gras


The Mardi Gras festivity is held sometime in February and March every year, so that clearly explains why the searches spike around that time every year. It’s a gay festival held in Sydney, that I hope to attend one day :)

Something comforting to know is that gay people are slowly building the confidence to come out of the closet.

Coming Out



As you can see how the term coming out is being googled more and more in a rising trend. And it’s probably because gay people want to find out more about coming out of the closet, and they turn to the internet to find out the best way to do so.

Well there are a ton of other things you can check out the trends of… so just head to the Google Trends website and see what the world is googling :)
