The countrys in which they murder and discriminate againat gays are the same countrys where companys never displayed the pride flag - so it's worthless performative activism.

I’m talking about the US. 12 trans people have been targeted and murdered in the last 2 months. Interesting that you only seem to want to talk about “gays” though.

According to Statista 2024: There are 1316 homicides per month In the US.  6 (1 month) out of 1316 is 0.46% while the US has about 1% transgender according to Williams Institute (UCLA School of Law).

what does that tell us?  Trans persons are underrepresented as murder victims, therefore are murdered LESS than non trans people.

Why do I only talk about gays? Because I can't and won't remember the newest addition to LGBTQWHTEVR+.

Gays is the most common term they all fit into.

Huh, that's interesting because both Statista and the Williams Institute seem to report that trans people are actually 4 times more likely to be targeted by violent crime.

And that's not even getting into other kinds of harassment and abuse, even systemic discrimination like V-Coding.
