Line 40:
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>
In another disturbing case which took place in 2017 in a church located in [[Brazil]], a 13-year-old lesbian girl fell victim to sexual abuse after confessing to her bishop her sexual orientation. The bishop then proceeded to anoint the girl with an oil under the pretext of “gay healing” to which the young girl was left traumatized and in need for phycological care.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-09-18 |title=Bispo evangélico que estuprou adolescente é condenado a 20 anos de prisão |url=https://www.pragmatismopolitico.com.br/2020/09/bispo-evangelico-que-estuprou-adolescente-e-condenado-a-20-anos-de-prisao.html |access-date=2023-10-07 |website=Pragmatismo Político |language=pt-BR}}</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">{{cite web |last=Coomaraswamy |first=Radhika |author-link=Radhika Coomaraswamy |title=Report of the Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women, Its Causes and Consequences, Radhika Coomaraswamy, submitted in accordance with Commission on Human Rights resolution 2001/49 |publisher=United Nations Commission on Human Rights |date=2002-01-31 |url=https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/459009?ln=en |access-date=2023-09-17 |id=E/CN.4/2002/83 |oclc=50549496 |page=102 |archive-date=12 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230512045101/https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/459009?ln=en |url-status=live }}</ref>
