We are joined by OutFront Communications Director Grace Gheen to talk about the recent abuse and harassment the local LGBTQ+ resource center has endured after recently being targeted by a conservative blogger. In an all too familiar story, an online troll focused attention on a TikTok made by the organization promoting resources for local LGBTQ+ residents- drawing hundreds of hate-filled messages and comments to OutFront from reactionaries across the globe.
We talk about the important work OutFront does, their organization's general response to being targeted, and the broader picture of rising anti-LGBTQ+ propaganda and bigotry.
