The homicide rate for transgender people nearly doubled between 2017 and 2021, driven primarily by killings with firearms, according to a leading anti-gun violence group.
from the Department of Justice that drew on data from 2017 to 2020, Everytown reported that LGBTQ people were more likely than other groups to be victims of violence.
LGBTQ people also see higher rates of suicide: 40% of transgender people reported trying to kill themselves, according to the nonprofit-led U.S. Transgender Survey in 2015. That was almost nine times the national average. The Trevor Project's 2022 survey found that LGBTQ youth, between 13 and 24 years old, had also seriously considered suicide -- with one in five attempting.
The number of anti-LGBTQ hate groups also increased by 43% from 2018 to 2019, according to the advocacy group Southern Poverty Law Center."This report shows what we have sadly learned to be true: when LGBTQ+ people's rights and existence are up for debate, it creates a culture in which hate-motivated crimes are commonplace," Fran Hutchins, executive director at the Equality Federation, said in a statement.
