News of rising hatred towards the LGBTQA+ community

This Sunday morning, I got up as I always do on Sundays, having a coffee and taking my time to start my day. I normally don’t listen to the news too much as it always contains so much unrest, hate, disasters and the like. Sadly, I didn’t follow my own advice this morning.

What I found was news about the racial unrest in France, the war in Ukraine, a mass shooting in Baltimore, Maryland in the States and so much more sadness. Closer to home here was news about a tornado in Alberta, forest fires, indigenous grave sites found, sexual harassment in the RCMP, and much more bleak news.

Aside from the natural disasters and climate change, what stood out was how humanity has been treating each other. What really jumped out at me was how there is a rise in hatred toward the LGBTQA+ community - around the world but especially here in Canada. I found the following:

Protesters counter-protesting pride events

Students stomping on pride flags

Hate slogans being screamed at our trans community

Trans students afraid to go to school due to the rise in hatred

A trans celebrity, Dan Mulvaney, being targeted after her advertisement for a bee company

A US Supreme Court allowing a Christian web designer to refuse service to a same-sex wedding

News of the stabbing in a University of Waterloo campus and how people are afraid to talk about the violence toward our community

Muslims in Ottawa schools refusing to go to school at the start of pride

A young Indigenous girl talking about using they/them and what she faced

The province of New Brunswick’s gender policy of not discussing gender issues in classrooms, where teachers are banned to use gender titles for students under 16

NB government calling gender dysphoria becoming popular among young people and the need to curb it. 

A rural town in Ontario refusing to put up pride flags

A pride crosswalk painting defaced with black paint in Saanich, BC and Leduc, Alberta

Timmins, Ontario Pride celebration, along with many others in Canada celebration forced to include security costs due to anti-LGBTQ threats

Hate incidents in Alberta spiking - RCMP encouraging reporting of these incidents

Canada’s anti-LGBTQ movement emboldened by what is happening in the USA.

Continuing issues around drag queens reading to children

Sadly, I’m sure there are more that I missed.

Closer to home, the high school where my students go when moving to grade 10 was recently in the news where students stole the pride flag from the cafeteria and took it into the woods and burned it. The principal at my school was told by the district to take down the LGBTQ flag that I put up in our teaching pod. He was instructed to find a way to show it in some sort of enclosed box to protect it from being vandalized.

Even closer was when my publisher, FriesenPress put up a pride symbol on their website. I sent a message celebrating the release of my gay science fiction romance and thanked them for their support. I received homophobic slurs as a result. FriesenPress thankfully blocked those people and supported me.

I grew up in an environment where being gay was a dangerous thing. I faced hatred, taunting, harassment and some violence when I was in school. Since then, I’ve seen things change for the better since the 1970s. Now, it seems that things are going backwards and it frightens me.

In the next few blogs, I will be exploring what is going on around me. Your comments would be welcomed.

Carpe diem
