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.
