HRC President Kelley Robinson Testifies on Rise of Anti-LGBTQ+ Extremism and Violence
Kelley Robinson, President of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) civil rights organization, just finished testifying before the U.S. House of Representatives Oversight and Reform Committee about the rise of anti-LGBTQ+ extremism and violence in the United States in the wake of the recent Club Q shooting. At the hearing, titled “The Rise of Anti-LGBTQI+ Extremism and Violence in the United States,” Robinson discussed the threats facing the LGBTQ+ community, including a rise in online harassment, anti-LGBTQ+ state legislation, threats of violence, and attacks on queer spaces and people, particularly Black and brown transgender women.
