| Description | If you think it’s a dangerous time for LGBT people, you’re right.
There was a stunning spike in hate-related homicides of LGBT and HIV-affected people in the U.S. in 2017, with the number reaching 52, up 86 percent from 2016, according to a report released today by the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs. It’s also the highest number recorded by the coalition in its 20-year history of tracking hate crimes.
Causes of violence include rhetoric from the highest levels of government, according to coalition leaders. |
