The LGBTQ+ community is facing an unprecedented level of political vitriol directed at their members. Founder & CEO of TranslashMedia Imara Jones says an orchestrated campaign by far-right and Christian nationalist groups are directly responsible for the sharp escalation in transphobia. As fringe views about the LGBTQ+ community become increasingly normalized by conservative politicians and pundits, the queer community worries that attacks against the community will only intensify.
