A new report from the HRC and the Center for Countering Digital Hate shows a 400% increase in anti-LGBTQ+ comments and posts on social media following the passing of Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill. The majority of the posts come in the form of misuse of the term "Groomer" or "Pedophile" to describe anyone who is LGBTQ+. Much of the usage stems from rhetoric coming from a very small group of extremists who are targeting children as a political weapon. Just 10 people drove more than 66% of the "groomer" tweets, including Gov. Ron DeSantis’s press secretary Christina Pushaw, extremist members of Congress like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, and pro-Trump activists like “Libs of TikTok” founder Chaya Raicheck.
