"Concern about rising fascism and hate-fueled violence is now widespread in queer communities across the country. Sixty-one percent of LGBTQ+ people in the United States say they have avoided public spaces or a public event due to fear of discrimination or violence, according to a new survey of 1,000 adults by the nonprofit group SafeHome.org.

That means an alarming majority of LGBTQ+ people say there were afraid to leave their homes and enter a society potentially hostile to the way they love other people or express gender, a fear likely fueled by a wave of anti-LGBTQ legislation as well as mass shootings, violence, and targeted harassment both online and in public. LGBTQ+ people of all walks of life, their allies, and students in particular are fighting back."
