Lesbians, gay men, and bisexual and transgender people all over the world suffer persecution and violence simply for being who they are. They are tortured or ill-treated by state officials to extract confessions of “deviance”, and raped to “cure” them of it. They are attacked in their homes and communities to punish and intimidate them because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
