anti-LGBTQ attacks

The Florida governor’s press secretary recently accused gay people of being pedophiles.

The victim was severely injured and then contracted COVID-19 while in the hospital, but she’s in good spirits and thankful for her community.

The victim suffered significant injuries that will require surgery, but he still had a message for others: “Don’t let anyone or even this type of situation dim your light.”

Anti-LGBTQ hate attacks in the region have increased 25 percent over the last year. But despite increased police patrols, the attacker remains at large.

Prosecutors didn’t even want to call it a hate crime at first.

And more than a third have been physically attacked or sexually assaulted.

Angela Stanton-King told thousands online that the club had put “children in a [expletive] drag show.” Marjorie Taylor Greene and other anti-trans activists began piling on too, saying they should “end up like Pulse.”

Friends won’t leave her side in the hospital because they fear how she’ll be treated by nurses who’ve said they are “disgusted” by her.

The religious right is using the same tactics, for the same reasons, to stop medical treatment or sports for trans youth as it has against abortion providers.

“Homosexuality is an inappropriate topic for a children’s book,” one angry parent wrote about the doll with lesbian aunts.

“Wherever you go, I will get you,” the angry man pledged to a gay couple. The cops didn’t even take his name down right.

“I’m going to kill you,” the stranger said before leaving the victim with a bruised mouth.

It was initially thought that the 18-year old opened fire on a house party out of hatred. Jurors eventually learned that his motive was more than that.

Investigators are calling it a “homophobic attack” that ended with the victim being rushed to the hospital afterward.

One white fan even said the rapper has “let down the Black community” by wearing wigs, dresses and other “feminine” clothes to parody Oprah Winfrey.

He allegedly stabbed or attacked several people in a string of hate crimes that started on Christmas.

“I just wish people would leave me alone. I don’t do anything,” the victim said in a video that got major attention online.

Hate doesn’t confine itself to a single issue. Anti-abortion extremists traffic in anti-LGBTQ bias too, just like white supremacists.

The 2013 Drag Idol UK runner up was evidently not slowed or scared by the apparent homophobic attack in the slightest.
