The U.S. National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs reported an increase in hate violence against LGBTQ people during Pride Month and Stonewall 50.
Twenty-two anti-LGBTQ protests, two deaths in detention and 14 murders — all in about nine weeks this summer.
The organization works to prevent, respond to, and end all forms of violence against and within LGBTQ communities. While violence directed at trans people peaked in 2017 with 29 slain, 2018 showed a decrease with 26 deaths. The report's findings reflect the increase in violence in the U.S. immigration and criminal systems, as well as growing backlash of many far right groups against the LGBTQ community.
The organizers of the Straight Pride parade said the event aims to celebrate"the diverse history, culture and contributions of the straight community."
