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.
