Throughout 2024, at least 918 anti-LGBTQ+ incidents were reported in the US, averaging two and a half hate crimes every day, highlighting rising intolerance.
GLAAD's president, Sarah Kate Ellis, emphasized that the prevalence of anti-LGBTQ+ crimes correlates directly with growing anti-LGBTQ+ policies and rhetoric from officials and social media.
The 2024 report showed a 112% increase in anti-LGBTQ hate incidents, emphasizing the urgency for societal advocacy to protect and uplift marginalized voices.
With over 260 protests and 140 bomb threats, the data underscores a distressing trend of escalating violence against the LGBTQ+ community, particularly targeting trans individuals.
