Fox News rang in Pride Month with fear-mongering headlines about the LGBTQ community

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.

We’ll explain more in a moment, but if you have a second to support COURIER’s factual reporting on the issues that matter most, can you chip in $20 now?

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.
