Fifty years after its formation, activists from the National LGBTQ Task Force say they are at another defining moment.
Rothenberg sees parallels in the current climate and that of 1973. “There is a political component to homophobia,” he said. “But ignorance has always played a part, 50 years ago and today.” Dee Tum-Monge, 25, a digital organizer and senior communications manager for the task force, says there are some key differences in how advocates handle challenges today. Issues such as abortion rights, gun control and racial justice intertwine with the fight for LGBTQ equality like never before, they said.
Tum-Monge said the wave of bills are an attack on youths who can’t advocate for themselves, and they are bolstered by swirling rhetoric and misinformation. It’s part of a “continuous pattern that has just found a new light and new platform to spew a lot of LGBTQ hate” through the internet, they said. “People my age are just sick of it.”Task force confident the tide will turn
