Gwyneth Lyons @gwynethlyons.bsky.social · 22/04/2025The NYPD’s statistics from 2024 say that 12% of hate crimes that year were against the LGBTQ community—totaling to 78 incidents. And, the ACLU is currently tracking 563 anti-LGBTQ bills in various state legislatures. I’m looking at how this happened and its impact on the community. 121
Gwyneth Lyons @gwynethlyons.bsky.social · 22/04/2025I’m working on a story about these hate crimes and their effects. Last year, in New York City, a man shouting homophobic slurs attacked a gay man as he was riding on the subway. The attacker slashed the victim’s hand. 100
Gwyneth Lyons @gwynethlyons.bsky.social · 22/04/2025Anti-LGBTQ hate crimes have been surging around the country. Some experts say that the Trump administration has emboldened people to commit them. What does that mean for the queer community? 121
