These 24 violent extremist & anti-LGBTQ+ advocacy groups pose a danger to LGBTQ+ people
Briefly

Since June 2022, Proud Boys affiliates have perpetrated at least 69 anti-LGBTQ+ incidents. Known for aggressive confrontations, Proud Boys joined Rose City Nationalists on October 23, 2022, to disrupt a story hour in Eugene, where bear spray and paintballs were reportedly used on attendees. Their violent activism extends to Springfield, where they targeted Haitian migrants, further exemplifying their stance against LGBTQ+ and other marginalized communities.
Linked to over 151 incidents, Libs of TikTok's platform has become a vehicle for harassment, notably initiating a 2024 campaign against Planet Fitness's trans-inclusive locker rooms that preceded over 90 bomb threats. Run by former Brooklyn real estate agent Chaya Raichik, its social media presence amplifies anti-LGBTQ+ hate and, through stochastic terrorism, inspires real-life threats against inclusive policies and LGBTQ+ individuals.
This think tank, responsible for the dystopian Project 2025 agenda, backs policies opposing LGBTQ+ rights, most recently supporting bans on gender-affirming care. The Heritage Foundation collaborates with groups like Moms for Liberty, promoting policies that remove LGBTQ+ visibility in educational and health.
