Violence against gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and the transgendered



Violence against lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgendered (LGBT), sometimes called hate crimes, can occur either at the hands of individuals or groups, or as part of governmental enforcement of laws targeting people who are seen to violate heteronormative rules. People who are merely perceived to be LGBT (but who are actually not) may also be targeted.
