Gaysdidit
Gaysdidit is a neologism, most often seen as a sarcastic Twitter hashtag, referring to the tendency of certain activists on the religious right to blame tragedies on the fact that homosexuals are treated with a modicum of decency, claiming that it's either divine retribution or otherwise the result of moral decadence making people evil.
