In a recent address at the Gaydio Pride awards, Russell T Davies emphasized the alarming rise in hate speech and its detrimental impact on the LGBTQ+ community, citing the political climate under Donald Trump's presidency and the actions of Elon Musk. He expressed that he feels a heightened sense of danger for gay society, noting a surge in hostility and resentment. Davies reaffirmed the resilience of the queer community, recalling its historical capacity to unite in the face of adversity, suggesting that they may have to revert to secretive gatherings as a means of resistance.
I've seen a difference in the way I'm spoken to as a gay man since that November election, and that's a few months of weaponising hate speech.
A wave of anger, violence and resentment is heading towards us on a vast scale.
If we have to be those rebels in basements again, then that's what we'll become.
The LGBTQ+ community would do what we always do in times of peril, we gather at night.
