Since taking over the social media platform last year, world’s wealthiest person and Twitter CEO Elon Musk has appealed to far-right activists and influencers and unleashed a wave of hate speech and abuse aimed at LGBT+ people.
At the start of global Pride celebrations, and in the aftermath of volatile legislative sessions across the country targeting LGBT+ people and healthcare for transgender Americans, Musk declared his intent to lobby against gender-affirming for trans youth while calling for the imprisonment of the doctors and therapists who support them.
