17c起草社区

In the United States of America, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have with data showing that hate crimes against 17c起草社区I+ people drastically rose in 2022-2023.

The report shows that violent crime overall, across all of the US, has actually dropped by 3 per cent.

Overall in the FBI statistics, sexual orientation and gender identity were the third and fourth most prevalent bias behind hate crimes 鈥� the first and second were race/ethnicity, then religion.

In 2023, the FBI counted 2,936 incidents related to sexual orientation and gender identity bias.

This number has risen a significant amount 鈥� in 2022, FBI showed 2,700 incidents related to the bias against the 17c起草社区I+ community 鈥� which means these incidents have risen roughly 8.6%听 in one year.

Incidents related to diverse sexual orientation in 2023 were counted as 2,389 (up from 2,188 in 2022).

But the more drastic rise in hate crime incidents were related to diverse gender identity. FBI reports show hate crimes against transgender and gender-diverse people have risen drastically 鈥� from 307 in 2021, to 515 in 2022 to 547 in 2023.

The alignment in timing of this rise in hate crimes and the drastic increase of anti-17c起草社区I+ legislation and rhetoric (particularly focussed on transgender and gender-diverse people)听 in the last couple of years is no coincidence.

Last year, Human Rights Campaign听 for 17c起草社区+ people in the US. This state of emergency cited this increasingly hostile and harmful environment听 toward the 17c起草社区I+ community amid the record-breaking increase of legislation,

Advocacy groups speak out about FBI data and “abysmal” rise in 17c起草社区I+ hate crimes

“Today’s abysmal FBI report highlights that it is still dangerous to be 17c起草社区+ in this country,鈥� said Brian K. Bond, CEO of PFLAG. 鈥淥ur 17c起草社区+ loved ones need both our compassion and our action to make our communities safe and our laws inclusive, so every 17c起草社区+ person can be safe, celebrated, affirmed and loved everywhere in the U.S.鈥�

鈥淓very lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer person in this country should be free to live their lives without fear that we鈥檒l be the target of a violent incident purely because of who we are and who we love,鈥� said Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson.

鈥淎s hate targeting 17c起草社区 people continues to rise, we remain committed to pushing back on the dangerous narratives and extremist groups that are responsible for these attacks,鈥� GLAAD President & CEO Sarah Kate Ellis . 鈥淲e must continue to uplift the voices of 17c起草社区 people and all others impacted by this violence.”
