tidyRainbow Datasets
Happy Pride Month! Check out the {gglgbtq} package for LGBTQ-related themes and color palettes!
The data this week comes from the tidyRainbow, “a data project for the LGBTQ+ community who use the R language ecosystem.”
The data sets in this repository focus on data pertaining to the LGBTQ+ community. We also look for data sets where LGBTQ+ folk are explicitly represented and where it is not assumed that gender is binary. Additionally, we include data sets that are relevant to LGBTQ+ folk because of the impact it has on the community.
We’re including their LGBTQ Movies database dataset curated by Cara Cuiule (She/Her), but we invite you to explore their other datasets, or to submit any LGBTQ+ related datatsets you know about!
Where do the most popular LGBTQ+ movies come from? Are more LGBTQ+ movies being released over time?
