In addition, Pride 2023 saw increased attacks on corporations perceived to be supporting the LGBTQ community like Target, Anheuser Busch, and Disney World. These include incidents targeting drag events and performers, out elected officials, religious institutions, and symbols of the LGBTQ community like Pride flags. Pride 2023’s numbers included 102 incidents of harassment, 37 incidents of vandalism, and six incidents of assault.īreaking it down further, ADL and GLAAD found a recurrence of many of the same trends witnessed over the past year in the incidents seen during Pride 2023. The incident count recorded for Pride 2023 (145 incidents) is more than three-times the count documented during Pride 2022 (48 incidents) and a record high for incidents over the last 13 months. These numbers come on the heels of a newly released report by ADL and GLAAD, which tracked 356 anti-LGBTQ incidents in the US between June 2022 and April 2023. In fact, GLAAD and its partners at ADL documented at least 145 incidents of anti-LGBTQ hate and extremism nationwide during Pride 2023, including the murder of a woman at a gas station in Texas by a stranger who had allegedly shouted anti-gay slurs. Despite record high support for LGBTQ people in the US, there remain those who seek to disrupt, ban, and even attack expressions of queer joy. Pride Month is a time of celebration and remembrance for the LGBTQ community. *CONTENT WARNING* The discussion below includes hateful terms and phrases.
