A Sentiment Analysis of Twitter Data Before and After Us Supreme Court Decisions on Same-sex Marriage

Abstract

We collected tweets from LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ individuals before and after U.S. Supreme Court rulings on the legality of same-sex marriage. The goal of this work is to examine whether sentiment expressed in these tweets relates to the rulings. This project has implications for understanding how institutional decisions influence the psychology of sexual minorities.
