Many local police, news reports, officials, and victims confirmed an increase in attacks on LGBTQ+ symbols during Pride Month, suggesting a surge in anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment.
Republican rhetoric labeling LGBTQ+ individuals as 'demonic, godless groomers' has been associated with the rise in hate-motivated violence against the LGBTQI community, as stated by acting Associate Attorney General Benjamin C. Mizer.
Despite repeated vandalism of their 60 rainbow flags in Boise, Idaho, the LGBTQ+ advocacy group remains resilient, committed to restoring the symbols of pride, according to Michael Dale, the board president of Boise Pride.
