Constantly called a groomer

On local social media I'm regularly called a groomer because o support LGBTQIA issues. I have a job where I'm a mandated reporter and I'm getting tired of it. I'm not the only one.

Should we start threatening libel suits? Something has to be done to stop this crap.

And when they're posting and tagging others it's obnoxious.
My job means I need to pass a background. These comments don't look so good.

I'm gay and I try to avoid people who call me names. I'm not active on Facebook and I'm very selective about what I read on social media.

This guy attacking me now admits his "buddy" ran my plates at Pride. He's responding to something locally about a health screening event coming up where my name was tagged since I'm working it.

And then yes, have an attorney send him a letter that is he is subject to a defamation lawsuit.

but you can report them for violating the TOS.

their intent is to silence your voice because of the emotional toll the harassment takes.
