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>
Often acts of violence against people of diverse sexual orientation are perpetrated by the victim's own family. In a case in [[Zimbabwe]], the multiple rape of a lesbian was organised by her own family in an attempt to "cure" her of homosexuality.<ref name="Coomaraswamy 2002">
In those cases, as in many other cases of violence against people of diverse sexual orientation, State law enforcement authorities are complicit in human rights abuses for failing to persecute violators of rights.
