After years of Googling ‘lesbian’ and getting porn in the search results, the search engine has finally changed its algorithm to show educational material first<\/a>. Google implemented this change in response to mounting criticism, particularly in France. \u201cCritics argued that by placing pornography and other sexualized images of lesbians before their history or other informative content, Google contributed to a culture that oversexualizes lesbians and treats them as entertainment,\u201d explains Daily Dot.<\/p>\n

A Twitter user was the first to call out Google during Pride month when, even with a Stonewall remembrance banner atop the page, the top search results for \u201clesbian\u201d linked to porn. Google\u2019s vice president of search engine quality later said the search results for the term lesbian, \u201care terrible, there is no doubt about it.\u201d While Google never made an official announcement, the Twitter user who first called out Google tweeted that the Wikipedia page for lesbians is now the top search result.<\/p>\n
