Every day, LGBT+ users face hate on TikTok. Demand stronger action to protect trans and queer people now.
Every day, LGBT+ people on TikTok face a wave of hate – from insults and harassment to threats of violence. Trans users, in particular, are targeted with constant misgendering, deadnaming, and abuse.
When these attacks are reported, the response is often the same: “No violation found.” Even when the abuse is explicit, TikTok frequently refuses to take down the content.
This isn’t an isolated issue. Across countries where discrimination is supposed to be illegal, users are being failed by a system that should protect them. Meanwhile, in countries where being LGBT+ is criminalized, this neglect can be even more dangerous – putting lives at risk.
TikTok’s Community Guidelines already prohibit hate speech, harassment, and discrimination. But vague wording and inconsistent enforcement mean that trans and queer users remain unsafe. Many content creators who profit from the platform spread hateful ideas without consequence. And when users speak out, they’re often silenced or ignored.
We’re calling on TikTok to do better – to enforce its own rules and protect the LGBT+ community from hate.
TikTok has the power – and responsibility – to make its platform safe for everyone. Let’s hold them accountable.
Sign now to demand that TikTok enforces its own policies and stands with LGBT+ people against hate.
