Los Angeles county DA’s office quits Twitter due to barrage of ‘vicious’ homophobic attacks

The Los Angeles county district attorney’s office said Thursday it has left Twitter due to barrage of “vicious” homophobic attacks that were not removed by the social media platform even after they were reported.

The account, which went by the handle @LADAOffice, no longer exists on Twitter.

“Our decision to archive our Twitter account was not an easy one,” the office said in a statement. “It came after a series of distressing comments over time, culminating in a shocking response to photographs we posted celebrating LADA’s first known entry into a Pride parade.”

It said its Pride parade post was met with “a barrage of vicious and offensive comments that left us deeply troubled.”

The comments ranged from “homophobic and transphobic slurs to sexually explicit and graphic images,” the office said, adding that they remained visible in replies to the account more than 24 hours after they were reported to Twitter.

Twitter, whose new CEO, Linda Yaccarino started on Monday, did not respond to a message for comment. Attacks on LGBTQ+ users have increased substantially since Elon Musk took over the company last fall, according to multiple advocacy groups.

Los Angeles has almost 4 million people. If LA folks really liked the LGBTQ stuff then wouldn’t the crowds at these pride events be more than a couple thousand? That is not even one percent of one percent.

The entire district attorney office had a meltdown or was it mainly one person, that district attorney? I find it odd that no names of the offended are provided in the article.

The pride parade is "sexually explicit and graphic" and has kids watching.

“homophobic and transphobic slurs to sexually explicit and graphic images,”

Being disgusted by others constantly forcing their private parts in your face isn't 'phobic', and you guys are all about your perversion of sex, so now everyone thinks 'sexually explicit and graphic images' are right up your alley... so to speak.

They don't even try to hide it anymore.

Right? So these freaks can parade around in the nude in public, push their sexuality onto kids and toddlers, shake their junk in our faces but we’re not supposed to notice that? Yes, they will be judged harshly. Anyone supporting these kinds of behaviors should also be judged harshly. Stay out of the kitchen if you can’t stand the heat… They started it, not us.

I expect the left will remove movie and show ratings in not to distant future claiming that rated r and x movies and shows are education for kids and shouldn’t be censored by ratings. Some of the crap on TV during daytime is near uncensored now. Sad that our nation has sunk into this vile state of affairs

***“vicious” homophobic attacks***

Anyone here scared of a queer or tranny? A better word is “Homosisia” A REVULSION of all things faggy and tranny.

And what is so prideful of someone who likes to get a rectal roto reaming?

I resent being expected to celebrate a collection of people whose commonality is obsession with sex. Everything they say about “pride” is an attempt to distract from this reality.

Doesn’t matter whether the comments are justified or not. A DA that can’t handle nasty Twitter comments about ANYTHING shouldn’t be a DA. Good lord.
