The ‘Journalists for Tolerance’ (further – J4t) research team regularly monitors hate speech against vulnerable groups in the Belarusian media, including annual monitoring of rhetoric in relation to LGBTQ+. In 2024, the J4t researchers team monitored rhetorical fallacies and hate speech in relation to LGBTQ+ within the 10-months’ period from the beginning of January till the end of October.
The purpose of the monitoring study is to provide a systematic review of the use of incorrect vocabulary and manifestations of hate speech in the Belarusian media in relation to the LGBTQ+ community as one of vulnerable groups. Special attention was paid to the expressions that stigmatize the LGBTQ+ people.
