A recent report by GLAAD revealed that over half of reported anti-LGBTQ+ incidents targeted transgender and gender non-conforming individuals, with 932 incidents documented between May 1, 2024, and May 1, 2025. This includes 84 injuries and 10 deaths, with a 14% increase in targeted violence compared to the previous year. The report links this surge in anti-LGBTQ+ incidents to political actions and rhetoric, particularly from Donald Trump. The findings underscore the hostile climate faced by the LGBTQ+ community and the urgent need for awareness and action.
Transgender and gender non-conforming people were the targets of over half the incidents of anti-LGBTQ+ harassment, vandalism, threats, and assault reported in the past year.
Rollbacks in LGBTQ visibility and challenges to our rights are coupled with a sharp rise in anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and disinformation across social media and political campaigns.
