Anti-LGBTQ+ targeted hate and rhetoric have increased after two decades of visibility and rights gains in many countries. Offline trends include a surge in reported hate crimes, widespread book bans, and government or legislative actions targeting LGBTQ+ rights with particular focus on trans people. Online trends include coordinated harassment campaigns, rollbacks of digital protections, and systematic erasure from AI training data and content moderation. Anti-LGBTQ+ hate covers actions that dehumanize, demonize, harass, threaten, incite violence, discriminate against, or erase LGBTQ+ voices and protections. U.S. data show 20% of 2024 hate crimes were anti-LGBTQ+; 918 incidents were recorded in 2024, 48% targeting trans, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming people. LGBTQ+ people face a significantly higher risk of violent victimization than non-LGBTQ+ people.
