More people are attending Prides, more companies are sponsoring Prides, more communities are organizing and hosting Prides because they are amazing ways to show solidarity and support for all in the community and especially to express a community’s values of welcome, safety, diversity and acceptance. Our data shows heightened harassment and physical violence against LGBTQ people, which is horrifying and related to the overall hostile climate fomented by a few fringe extremists. Attacks and threats on Pride symbols and events are meant to intimidate, harass, erase and silence LGBTQ people and our allies, but they are largely unsuccessful. https://lnkd.in/eGzjRA2T
