Thread: This week, I’ve been the target of violent, homophobic, antisemitic attacks from the QAnon/anti-vax right, including death threats (screenshots below). All b/c I’m authoring SB 145 to end discrimination against LGBTQ youth on sex offender registry.https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/08/scott-wiener-qanon/ …
Currently LGBTQ young people are forced onto the sex offender registry in situations where straight youth are not. This discrimination is a relic of times when gay sex was illegal. The bill is supported by major LGBTQ, civil rights, law enforcement groups.https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/Keeping-gay-men-off-California-s-sex-offender-13826028.php …
TRIGGER WARNING: I’m attaching screenshots of some of the messages & comments on Instagram I’ve received from the QAnon/anti-vax right. They range from death threats:pic.twitter.com/9w2lMJIFzk
I’ve also received numerous vile antisemitic attacks that play into centuries-old antisemitic tropes:pic.twitter.com/oofQOGOB1s
I have thick skin, but this has been scary, particularly with the assassination of a federal judge’s son last week. There is so much misinformation about SB 145 & it’s hard to track where it starts. Those who think homophobia & antisemitism are over are not paying attention.
It’s deeply disturbing: I reported this account spreading horrible anti-Semitic propaganda and Instagram refused to take it downpic.twitter.com/VvyjguHo1y
When are people going to wake up and get rid of anything owned by Facebook.
YES! You are brave strong and good,continue!
