John,
While members of the LGBTQ+ community and allies around the country celebrate Pride Month, Fox News is going to war.
We’re not even a week into June, but just take a look at some recent headlines:
Mocking an NBC documentary on queer animal behaviors, accusing the Navy SEALS of being “woke” for promoting equality, and praising NFL teams that skipped Pride Month messaging – this election year, Fox News seems to be pushing its right-wing agenda and boosting ratings by attacking the LGBTQ+ community during Pride.
Thanks to the disgusting demagoguery of the LGBTQ+ community by Fox News and the far-right, for the first time in decades, fewer people support rights for LGBTQ Americans than did just a few years ago.
The trend has led to a record number of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation in our state legislatures and an alarming increase in hate crimes against LGBTQ+ Americans.
At COURIER, our local newsrooms are fighting back by exposing right-wing efforts to hurt the LGBTQ+ community and sharing stories about LGBTQ+ activism and its positive impact on our local communities:
Now more than ever, John, this coverage is vital. We can stop right-wing hate from spreading, but we can’t do it without your support.
