Two historic moments of progress for LGBTQ people occurred on Thursday, February 25: The House of Representatives passed broad LGBTQ nondiscrimination protections in the Equality Act, and Dr. Rachel Levine -- the first transgender person nominated to a Senate-confirmed position -- had her Senate confirmation hearing to be assistant secretary of health. In the days surrounding those events, however, Media Matters found that the vast majority of the conversation on political Facebook pages around those two topics came from right-leaning pages. Posts about the Equality Act fearmongered that it would destroywomen's sports, harm their safety and privacy, and declare “war on reality,” among other harmful rhetoric. Posts attacking Levine lied that she supports “genital mutilation” for kids and claimed that supporting trans youth is "obscene."
