A wave of anti-LGBT hate is sweeping across formerly safe western countries – from the UK to Canada, New Zealand and Australia. The amplification of hate across multiple platforms – from blogs to mainstream media or social media – gives it a global audience. Many of the origins appear to be in America. But is it fair to point the finger or has social media just given a platform to a problem that has long been present?
This extremism has been driven by a mix of religion, nationalism, technology, commercialisation of news and sexual politics.
