Trans people, local governments and educators face rising anti-LGBTQ hate, GLAAD report finds
There were 932 homosexual incidents throughout the United States during the past year-from hate speech and bombs threats to deadly violence-with more than half of these actions that target sexually transgender and people between the sexes, according to New report From the LGBTQ Glaad.
The report found an annual basis on incidents targeting transgender people, unitia, government governments, local governments, teachers and library secretaries. It also found a decrease in accidents aimed at performing clouds and pride symbols.
“This is really tending to show these types of tides in hatred and what extremists like to focus on at the present time,” Sarah Moore, an analyst for gay and homosexuals in Glaad, told NBC News. “They are really a type of debtors for the new day.”
This is the third year in which Glaad has published an annual report that depends on Anti -gay and double LGBTQ anti -disorders. The 932 incidents that followed in this last report occurred between May 1, 2024 and May 1, 2025. This was 20 % decreased from 1,173 accidents last year and an increase of 80 % from 521 accidents followed in its opening report in 2023.
Glaad defines gay incidents as “harassment, threats, sabotage and aggression motivated by hatred, anti -gay and gay extremists. Accidents are tracked through self -reports, media reports, social media participation, data participation from partner organizations, law enforcement, then verification of health by a team in Glaad.
Moore warns that the incidents tracked in the report are “just a decrease in the bucket in terms of what is already happening when it comes to anti -gay hate.
She said: “This is more than a snapshot of what is the living experience of LGBTQ members, unlike being an accurate representation of every hate accident in the United States.”
Moore said that one of the most surprising results of this year’s report is the sharp decline in accidents aimed at pulling, which decreased to 83 accidents that followed from 185 years before.
She said: “This really goes to show the flexibility of the cloud community, and that we saw them taking all these amazing steps towards protecting their personal safety, protecting the safety of their fans and working with community security organizations.”
The synchronization of this decrease in cyclist combat incidents is an increase in accidents targeting local and state governments, teachers and librarians.
“We have seen a number of our incidents, in fact, we contract with the city council officials, contracting with political candidates who are either LGBTQ or who support society, deal with legislators at the state level who are trying to protect or allocate LGBTQ rights and follow -up teachers and library secretaries who provide safe spaces for young LGBTQ youth in their classrooms in their classrooms and libraries.”
LGG incidents occur more in June in June, according to the past two years of reports before the reporting of the anti -LGBTQ anti -extremism.
“This is more likely to be attributed to the fact that the month of June is the month of Pride, when we will get the largest number of LGBTQ events and the most obvious events,” Moore said. “In June, for example, the global capital, which will be a truly huge event and a truly huge show to support the LGBTQ community in the United States and globally.”
When asked if Glaad had safety advice for those who plan to attend the events of the month of pride this year, Moore pointed out that one of the distinctive features of the LGBTQ community is “flexibility and strength.”
“This hatred, unfortunately, is not new to us. We have dealt with persecution, with persecution, with these actions of hatred against our society for centuries,” she said, adding that the first marches of pride were the protests that were held on the first anniversary of the height of Stonnol in 1969.
“Therefore, I think that the mere continuation of these legacies of pride as a form of protest, pride as a form of resistance, and pride as a refusal to allow others to define our definition and legislate our bodies and tell us that we must remain in special places and not present our real original self -presenting to the rest of the world.”
