GLSEN, the LGBTQ+ student rights advocacy organization, has announced that it will no longer use X because of increased cyberbullying and harassment against transgender and LGBTQ+ youth on the microblogging platform. The organization’s departure comes barely a month after The Trevor Project, an LGBTQ+ youth suicide prevention resource, left the platform because of the increasing hate and threats. The It Gets Better Project, a queer youth empowerment nonprofit, also left X in August, saying that changes at X made it impossible to safely and effectively do this work. GLSEN said it intends for its indefinite pause on X to raise awareness and call attention to the urgent need for X to adopt comprehensive policies and practices that prioritize all users’ well-being and safety. There has been no response on X about these departures from owner Elon Musk. #Queer Up The USA View
