Caitlin Jenner, Kevin Spacey & More – Top 10 Worst of LGBTQ Community in 2017

As 2017 comes to end, Hornet identified the top 10 people, places and things that were the most influential on the LGBTQ community in 2017 – but in the worst ways.

Highlights include:
• Caitlyn Jenner
The trans community was nothing more than a prop intended to help her relive her glory days on Wheaties boxes. 


• Gay Trump Supporters
Conservatives are embracing gay Trump supporters as pariahs. Doing so leads them to cite queer people’s support as proof their policies are not actually homophobic or transphobic (when, really, they are). 


• Kevin Spacey
Kevin Spacey finally did what Hollywood insiders and much of the LGBTQ community had wanted him to do for decades — he came out as a gay man. But, instead of being lauded for his strength of character, Spacey was reviled, and rightly so. 


• Chechnya
Beginning in February 2017, it has been reported that more than 100 male residents had been abducted, held prisoner and tortured by authorities targeting them based on their perceived sexual orientation.
