Neo-Nazis Appear At Toledo LGBTQ+ Event.
“Content warning: The below article describes and pictures antisemitic hate symbols and LGBTQIA+ hate which some viewers may find disturbing.
A group of neo-Nazis appeared at a Toledo LGBTQ+ event Saturday night to “harass” attendees, according to multiple organizations.
Equality Toledo and the Jewish Federation of Greater Toledo released statements Monday condemning their presence. Both organizations said the neo-Nazis were masked, carried tiki torches and also appeared at the Jewish Toledo campus in Sylvania “to harass Jews.””
The rhetoric has turned extreme on the national political state in the last year and that has emboldened those on the far right to ramp up their attacks on the LGBTQ+ community. That has translated to events such as the ‘Love Fest’ in Toledo being picketed by those with Swastikas in an attempt to instill fear into the community. The reaction must be steadfast determination to not allow these cowards, who refuse to even show their faces, have any impact whatsoever.
