This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 24 January 2022 and 13 May 2022. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Ethan.jl (article contribs). Peer reviewers: Gooeybert.

I just added the 2016 death of Xulhaz Mannan as a case worth profiling. There is already a tag on the page to globalize this as right now it focuses on the United States even though this is a global issue. Blue Rasberry (talk) 11:24, 14 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

The "implicit homophobic/transphobic violence" section redefines violence to something it's not. The true definition of violence is as follows: "behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something."

I recommend a word such as "bias" instead since that's what it's really talking about. Redefining words like this will lead to confusion and a misrepresentation of facts. With "violence" defined so broadly, saying someone committed an act of violence against an LGBT person, loses its meaning. 108.26.206.115 (talk) 09:36, 21 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Based on an abundance of available sources, I think LGBT bullying clearly merits its own article. Spinning off the lengthy section from this article seems like the best place to start. That would leave this article as primarily consisting of two summary-style sections, one on Violence against LGBT people and one on LGBT bullying.--Trystan (talk) 16:28, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

I have proceeded with the split.--Trystan (talk) 18:22, 11 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thought this art would mostly focus on physical forms of gay bashing (types of violent physical assaults eg w/ vs w/o arms or weapons, fatal vs non-fatal, sexual, domestic, against children, etc), as LGBTQ bullying already covers non-physical forms. Violence against LGBTQ people has a good physical violence section (#Criminal assault), but doesn't seem to be organised by types. Might do wayyy later :) - Asdfjrjjj (talk) 20:18, 23 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
