Sixty-four percent of LGBTQ social media users reported experiencing harassment and hate speech

Now, I'm not saying that harassment and bullying doesn't occur ... but please define "hate speech".

'Cause from we're standing, "hate speech" is hurting someone's feelings, and we're being told that we're responsible for how they react to it.

"I think that there are direct lines to, unfortunately, suicides of our community," she said.

Well, then.

The report said, "While Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and others must balance concerns around free expression, it cannot be stated strongly enough that social media platforms must take substantive, meaningful, and far more aggressive action to prioritize the safety of their LGBTQ users and to staunch the epidemic of hate and extremism."

Interesting that Reddit wasn't mentioned. The word "Reddit" only appeared 5 times in the linked GLAAD report. My s/conspiracy hat is on.

Does that include TERFs being told they're garbage and that they should kill themselves?

Don't you know Julien, TERF is not a slur and it's not used negatively at all towards lesbians or women, and certainly isn't used towards men now too. I mean, radfems created the term, so everyone else is just using it the same way. Threats and violence are just made up in our heads. IT NEVER HAPPENS.

There is a world of difference between “I think we should be able to kill them slurs like they do in Iran” and “no, Todd, you aren’t a lesbian and you need to leave us alone.” Everything about this article seems like they’re very preoccupied with the later scenario rather than the former.

they’re very preoccupied with the latter

Absolutely!

They're reclaiming the slurs on our behalf and saying it's not hate speech, so that means words are no longer a slur, so we're not experiencing it and everyone loves Iran now, right.

"Todd, you aren't a lesbian" and "Aiden, you aren't gay" is now the absolute worstest things that could ever happen in the history of humanity, and all you LGB people NEED TO GO! SEXUAL 👏 ORIENTATION 👏 DOES 👏 NOT 👏 EXIST!

"Stop drugging and castrating gay kids" is hate speech to them. They want it censored. A TV interview with the head of GLAAD about this "report" piece of propaganda was roundly mocked on Twitter today by people who believe in free speech. Fuck GLAAD.
