The Anti-Defamation League and GLAAD documented 356 anti-LGBTQ+ nationwide incidents motivated by hate between June 2022 and April 2023, with over one-third of them targeting drag shows and performers, according to a new study released Thursday.
The first-of-its-kind study offers new numbers amid a familiar backdrop in American culture and politics, as the nation confronts a yearslong wave of biased-driven hate, while falling short of assessing its full toll.
Nearly half of all recorded incidents — 49% — were carried out by those individuals associated with extremist groups. The first-of-its-kind tally accounts primarily for incidents of harassment, but the count also includes 40 incidents of vandalism and 11 incidents of assault.

They need to get more data on the number of children that were exposed to LGBTQ+ activities without permission of their parents… some of these actions taking place at school. I believe the number would dwarf the 356 incidents listed… and exposing children to sex like this appears to be systemic. Protect our children.

Sgt Don Peterson Nothing extreme about me other than disliking the hate that the Left, Progressives, and LGBTQ+ crowd shows toward everyone that doesn’t warship them. I have no problem with them as long as they leave our children alone. I define children as anyone under 18 years old.

Sgt Don Peterson - I respectively disagree. The Left, Progressives, and LGBTQ+ crowd wants people to believe we are extremists, when in fact they are. I believe we are in the majority even though some of us remain silent too often. We need to stop that.
