Legislators Condemn

Anti-LGBTQ+ Violence

They came when they heard the news – clients, staff members,

and tenants from nearby offices – to sweep up glass

shards after cement rocks shattered the Pride Center’s doors

on Tuesday, April 26. They gathered in the wake of hatred to

affirm resilience and community.

This has become a kind of ritual, as violence and vandalism

have been a consistent reality for Vermonters who identify as

LGBTQ+. In three separate incidents in 2007, RU12? Community

Center windows were shattered and “Burn in Hell”

scrawled on its walls. In the winter of 2019, the very same

doors to the Pride Center were plastered with alt-right propaganda

and Outright office signs were defaced by an emblem of

white supremacy, transphobia, and homophobia. This month

alone: anti-trans stickers have been posted throughout Burlington’s

Old North End; state legislators that have supported

the rights of transgender youth were targeted via social media

posts and dubbed “groomers” by GOP leaders; and Fern Feather,

a young trans woman, was murdered in what is now being

discussed as a case of the ‘LGBTQ Panic Defense’.

We are a state that has proudly pioneered and championed

legislation to protect and affirm the rights of LGBTQ+ Vermonters.

And yet we are also a state in which many of our community

members continue to feel unsafe – at home, at school,

at work, and in public and private spaces throughout Vermont.

For good reason.

State statistics on violence against LGBTQ+ are limited, but

national numbers are alarming.

The National Sexual Violence Resource Center reports that:

• LGBTQ+ people are still four times more likely to experience

violence in their life than their straight counterparts.

• FBI data from 2019 illustrate a rise in anti-LGBTQ+ hate

crimes.

• A record-breaking number of murders against trans people

occurred in 2021 — the majority of whom were women of

color. The risk of sexual violence is also increased for trans

people; 50 percent of transgender people have been sexually

assaulted at least once in their lives.

• Seventy percent of LGBTQ+ members of the community

have been sexually harassed at work, and 66 percent were

afraid to tell their employer for fear of being outed.

Members of the Burlington and Winooski legislative delegations

as well as members of the General Assembly’s Rainbow

Caucus condemn the violence and hatred that continue to threaten

LGBTQ+ Vermonters. We stand in solidarity with the organizations

that persist in spite of it. We stand with the community

members they serve and defend. Yet that is not enough.

We must actively acknowledge the gap between the ideals

that launched legislative breakthroughs like civil unions and

marriage equality and the lived experiences of our fellow LG-

BTQ+ Vermonters.

What we allow is what will continue. All of us – political

and community leaders, teachers, parents, and advocates –

must call out hate speech wherever it crops up. We must create

more intentional, safe, and welcoming spaces in our communities.

And we must fight for policies that protect our most vulnerable

Vermonters.
