Racial and Homophobic Insult Levied at Sen. Mack on Social Media, RI Queer PAC Charges
Sunday, May 01, 2022
The Rhode Island Queer Political Action Committee is blasting a social media attack allegedly posted and directed at State Senator Tiara Mack.
Mack posted a screengrab of a social media post that appears to be posted by an Ohio man. Mack wrote about the post on Facebook, "Homophobia and racism all in one. Tack on some gun violence for good measure. The right has pushed their hate tactics on me. I have continued to serve unapologetically Black and queer. Donate now."
According to Mack, this is just the latest of a series of attacks.

The proposed bill would provide students in grades 6 through 12 with access to necessary sexual education programs that are appropriate for students of all races, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, gender identities and expressions, and sexual orientations. These programs would provide the vital knowledge students need so they may build and maintain safer relationships and decrease instances of sexual violence,” said CJ Miller, Communications Director of the RI Queer PAC.
"Senator Mack has been the target of several online attacks in response to this bill’s introduction. With some falsely accusing the Senator of being a groomer, a pedophile, and using the n-word in a hate-driven effort to justify their grievances and intimidate an elected official," added Miller
"Throughout history, the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities have suffered from these types of attacks and have oftentimes remained silent. Racial and homophobic slurs will not be tolerated nor will we fail to respond when they occur. Attacks such as these have only strengthened our resolve to fight harder for equal representation," said Miller.
"We unequivocally condemn these attacks and stand in support of Senator Mack as well as her efforts to pass bill S2285 for safer and more equitable sexual education in our schools," Miller concluded.
