The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation released the results of a post-election survey of more than 50,000 young people aged 13-18 that revealed the fallout the November presidential election has had on youth across the United States.
The online survey, believed to be the largest ever of its kind, found that 70 percent of respondents have witnessed bullying, hate messages or harassment since the election, with racial discrimination the most common motive cited.
In addition, more than a quarter of LGBTQ youth said they have been personally bullied or harassed since Election Day—compared to 14 percent of non-LGBTQ youth—with transgender young people most frequently targeted.
