Stickers produced by anonymous white supremacist group used to deface LGBTQ center

The LGBT Center of Raleigh has filed a police report after anti-LGBTQ stickers were used to deface the doors to their center.

“It’s about the message…It’s about the fact that they’re spreading a message of hatred,” Lindsey Lughes, Executive Director of the LGBT Center of Raleigh, told ABC 11. “All of that has been wildly, over and over again debunked.”

One sticker claims that gay people are 1-2% of the population. It also claims they represent “67% of HIV diagnoses, 1/3rd of child molesters, 60% of syphilis infections, [and] 52% are non-monogamous.”

There is no evidence that these statistics are remotely accurate, and they are made by the anonymous white supremacist group Hundred Handers. Local investigators could not find any information on the group’s operation.

Another of the group’s stickers mocks the community by saying “LGBT+…so oppressed they enjoy global corporate sponsorship while being celebrated…” and also claiming they “push their agenda on our children.”
