White supremacy is a stain on our nation and the greatest domestic terrorism threat we face.

The planned extremist attack on the LGBTQ+ community was to occur the day before the 6-year mark of the mass shooting at Pulse Nightclub, a hate-motivated, anti-LGBTQ+ act of gun violence that killed 49 people in Orlando, Florida, and wounded 53 others.https://t.co/BrobFElzVP

Six years ago today, a gunman walked into Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, and murdered 49 people. Below are the names, ages, and pictures of the 49 who lost their lives on that day. May all their memories be a blessing and may they all rest in peace.

🏳️🌈🏳️🌈In North Baltimore, neighbors are distributing 300 LGBTQ Pride flags right now to blanket the community after a flag and decorations were burned and homes destroyed in fires. No motive determined yet but residents are sending a message hate will not be tolerated. @wjz pic.twitter.com/FtUXVgWqtB

Neo-fascists and far-right hate groups are getting bold this Pride Month — and it’s probably not gonna stop any time soon. pic.twitter.com/UII2fSZJrx

One of the reasons I hate the phrase “culture war” is that it makes it sound like the stakes are just what’s on TV or something. The right wing rhetoric and laws targeting queer people are leading directly to attacks on pride marches, arson, and bodily harm.

If you can’t see how the burning of buildings, spraypainting of slurs, storming of libraries and pride events, the harming of LGBTQ+ people, the state-sponsored taking of our children, map onto other rises of genocide in history, I don’t know what to say.https://t.co/7RqvKUrpmZ

This weekend’s library Drag Queen Story Hour, intended as a celebration of Pride Month for kids in the East Bay town of San Lorenzo, was targeted by alleged Proud Boys who shouted hate speech.https://t.co/u7dNmjMdMp

Calling LGBTQ “pedos” and “groomers” and saying they’re “indoctrinating your children”, doesn’t trigger hate?
Think fear-mongering and manufactured culture-wars is just politics?

The rising tide of anti-LGBTQ+ hate in our country is reprehensible.
— Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (@RepBonnie) June 17, 2022
LGBTQ+ Americans deserve the right to exist as their authentic selves without fear, during #PrideMonth and always. As a member of @LGBTEqCaucus, I’m committed to fighting for that right.https://t.co/yRvmQbMdPo
