Help us stop the spread of anti-2SLGBTQI hate.

Hate crimes targeting the 2SLGBTQI community rose 69% last year alone, and 388% from 2016 to 2023.

This is not just a surge, it’s the result of the strategic spread of misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation (MDM) which shape institutional environments that make life harder, and more dangerous, for queer and trans people.

In response, Egale Canada is launching a new suite of resources to help communities recognize and respond to the growing wave of anti-2SLGBTQI MDM. These include:
