>> sara, can you talk to me about what you see as the impact of rhetoric in fueling hateful violence against this community. this type of hate is not new to the lgbtq community. do you see this now? >> i see it much more amplified than ever before. just to put it on a rise of crime takes away all of the attacks that come at the community. over 300 antilgbtq bills proceeded this past year, 150 attacks on drag events and lgbtq events this past year. what you're seeing with the political rhetoric that's then going on social media platforms, completely unchecked, it's turned into action that boils over into our communities, and ends up at the front door of places like club q. so it's really -- it does a
