While California is known as one of the most LGBTQ-friendly states in the nation, hate crimes are rising and other troubling trends persist, according to a new “State of Pride Report” issued by California’s Attorney General.
The report, which was released Tuesday and coincides with Pride month, looked at data and surveys on issues ranging from mental health to public policy.
Between 2021 and 2022, there were over 391 reported hate crime events motivated by sexual orientation bias in California, an increase of 29% over the previous period, the report states.
The Attorney General’s report also says LGBTQ+ children are victimized and bullied at rates four times higher than non-LGBTQ+ children, and nearly half of all gay youth seriously considered suicide in 2022.
U.S. Census data show that roughly 2.7 million, or 9.1% of California adults, identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, representing the largest percentage of the nation’s most populated states.
Oregon has the highest share with 12.3%. Mississippi and South Dakota have the lowest at 5%.
The national average is 7.9%.

Two words: Bull and Shit.
Isn’t leaving tire marks on a ‘pride’ crosswalk counted as a ‘hate crime’?
I'll bet it is because the GAYstopo doesn't get in people's faces so much in Mississippi and South Dakota.
Huh? MS and SD are the lowest? Who would have guessed? Guess MS is too busy with being racis’.......
Hey aren't those Joe Biden's pronouns?
If you watch Matt Walsh’s “ What is a woman”, you’re guilty of a hate crime.
In California calling someone who is a biological male but “identifies” as female a “him” is a crime... So it is not hard to understand why this type of idiocy from a bunch of loud mouthed professional victims is claiming that more crime is being reported.
🤣
Statistical bullshittery...
A large percentage of a very small number is still a very small number. There’s a reason these headlines are written this way.
“Hate crimes targeting California’s gay community rose by 29% in 2022, report says”
Perhaps if they weren’t GROOMING OUR KIDS, we might be a bit more ‘accepting’ of them.
all crime is hate.
Gays in Ca. are receiving more benefits than American Vets.
Redefining marriage to encompass their perversity was a hate crime against us.
“Perhaps if they weren’t GROOMING OUR KIDS, we might be a bit more ‘accepting’ of them.”
Ditto, grooming people’s children, which they have to do because they don’t and can’t have their own children to groom, is not a good way to make friends.
Considering that “hate crimes” are legislated, that is not surprising. Just make an act a “hate crime” and bump the statistics.
Translation: calling a he a she is a "hate crime". It should be a hate crime calling me a non-billionaire.
keeping the fire stoked, lying sacs of sh##
It’s a crime to be disgusted by their behavior. Since we are post-Christian, it is only 29% disgusted, not 98%, so the crime is less that it otherwise woukd be...disgust is violence, just ask the leader of the 82nd airborn. Taiwan is screwed.
ya and hopefully it goes up another 29%...
