Trump continues to ignore the growing epidemic of anti-LGBTQ violence and discrimination while fueling hate with his own vitriolic rhetoric<\/em><\/p>\n

NEW YORK \u2013 <\/strong>GLAAD, the world\u2019s largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization today condemned Trump for his inaction on anti-LGBTQ state violence in Egypt<\/a>, Chechnya<\/a>, Bangladesh<\/a>, Indonesia<\/a>, and Azerbaijan<\/a> as he takes the stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Trump addresses a room of global changemakers, his unconscionable inaction on the growing epidemic of anti-LGBTQ violence around the world must not be ignored,\u201d said Sarah Kate Ellis, President and CEO of GLAAD. \u201cGLAAD has been on the ground in Davos, calling attention to the erosion of LGBTQ acceptance under President Trump\u2019s watch and vowing that we will not be silent while the Present stands idly by in the face of horrific human rights abuses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yesterday at a panel hosted by GLAAD and The Ariadne Getty Foundation at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, GLAAD announced findings of its fourth annual Accelerating Acceptance report<\/a>, a national survey of more than 2,100 U.S. adults conducted on GLAAD\u2019s behalf. This report shows a drop in the number of non-LGBTQ U.S. adults who are accepting of LGBTQ people; this is the first time an erosion of LGBTQ acceptance has been tracked since the creation of the Acceleration Acceptance report.<\/p>\n
