GLAAD will update this listing on an ongoing basis and will convey new items to the platforms for consideration as they arise. Given the widespread use of the items below to attack and harass LGBTQ people, social media platforms should update their algorithms to flag them for removal, as they do with other content and conduct that conflicts with their policies on hate speech. Recommendations for how social media can utilize the Listing, as well as explanations on the urgent need for this resource, are available in the GLAAD Social Media Safety Index. Some deeper perspectives on hate speech include the Social Science Research Council’s “Hate-Speech Intensity Scale” and the work of the Dangerous Speech Project. This new project highlights the agendas and debunks the ideas behind malicious anti-LGBTQ content, and is a resource for social media platforms to identify and remove such content and conduct. The GLAAD Listing of Anti-LGBTQ Online Hate Speech is an ongoing project to identify selected language and memes that are used to harass, attack, and spread misinformation about LGBTQ people on social media.

Hate speech causes very real harm to LGBTQ people, and to society as a whole.
