How hetero?

From Thursday you can stop by at Pride Garden to test how straight you really are! You will receive a tag as a verification of how hetero you are. The computer with the test can be found in the non-alcoholic (Vitamin Well) bar in Pride Garden.
In the test you type your Twitter user name and then your latest tweets are analyzed. Your words are compared to words in a database that tells how straight you are, based on what you have written on Twitter. When Stockholm Pride's public relations officer Jessica W Sandberg has her Twitter account analyzed, she turns out to be 45% straight.
- No one has as of yet turned out to be 100% straight, but no one has been 0% straight either, says Andreas, café host in Pride Garden.
If you twitter about your result you will receive a complimentary Vitamin Well beverage from the non-alcoholic Pride Bar.
If you do not have a Twitter account you can type in your given name or your surname. You can also type in the name of celebrities. Tonight's Schlager Night guest, Alexander Rybak turned out 52% straight. Mr. Barack Obama on the other hand scored 66% straight. Try the test and see how straight YOU are.
Are you, called Linus, as I am? Don't worry. When the name was analyzed in the test the result turned out to be "Linus does not use clichés. Me like. See you at Pride!".
