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.

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.

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!
