==Acts of violence==
Acts of violence against LGBT people are often especially vicious compared to other [[hate crime|bias-motivated crime]]s
Examples of violent acts against people of diverse sexual orientation are too numerous to account here, and they occur in all parts of the world. A particularly distressing example is the sexual assault and murder of fifteen lesbians in [[Thailand]] in March 2012. In that example, two lesbian couples were killed by men who objected to their relationship and who were embarrassed when they were unable to convince the women into heterosexual relationships with themselves.<ref name="iglhrc.org 2012 e134">{{cite press release|title=LGBT Human Rights Advocates Charge Thai Police Ignore Fifteen Killings of Lesbians and Toms, Dismiss as “Love Gone Sour” |website=iglhrc.org |date=2012-05-15 |url=http://www.iglhrc.org/cgi-bin/iowa/article/pressroom/pressrelease/1506.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130306220219/http://www.iglhrc.org/cgi-bin/iowa/article/pressroom/pressrelease/1506.html |archive-date=2013-03-06 |url-status=dead |access-date=2023-09-17}}</ref>
