The Washington Blade published an article by LGBT Tech’s Carlos Gutierrez discussing Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter and the risks it could pose to the LGBTQ+ community.

The LGBT Technology Institute (LGBT Tech) strives to serve LGBT communities through education, programs, partnerships and research.
