urbanriot I don't know how anyone could say that gay people are at great risk with a straight face as it really does deserve open ridicule.
I have known many people who are gay, lesbian and trans who have been assaulted for no reason at all. That you would make such an absurd statement, which reflects your bias and is completely unsupported by evidence, suggest you are totally tone deaf and been unaware of the scope of violence directed against gay, lesbian and trans people. The numbers speak for themselves.
Hate crimes against LGBT people: National Crime Victimization Survey, 2017-2019
Descriptive and bivariate analysis show that LGBT people experienced 6.6 violent hate crime victimizations per 1,000 persons compared with non-LGBT people’s 0.6 per 1,000 persons (odds ratio = 8.30, 95% confidence interval = 1.94, 14.65). LGBT people were more likely to be hate crime victims of sexual orientation or gender bias crime and less likely to be victims of race or ethnicity bias crimes compared to non-LGBT hate crime victims. Compared to non-LGBT victims, LGBT victims of hate crime were more likely to be younger, have a relationship with their assailant, and have an assailant who is white. Compared to LGBT victims of non-hate violence, more LGBT hate crime victims reported experiencing problems in their social lives, negative emotional responses, and physical symptoms of distress. Our findings affirm claims that hate crimes have adverse physical and psychological effects on victims and highlight the need to ensure that LGBT persons who experience hate crime get necessary support and services in the aftermath of the crime.

And I haven't even touched on the hate from certain religious groups towards the LGBTQ2+ community.
