Staying Safe Online While Facing Anti-LGBTQ+ Rhetoric
Channel: PFLAG National
Date: 2022-09-01

A small -- but very aggressive -- minority has been overwhelming online spaces with anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and even threats of violence. A recent report connects how anti-LGBTQ+ legislative and policy wins in local and state governments have helped amplify hate on social media platforms. Worse, ineffective responses to this issue have only emboldened and empowered some people to do more damage.
