The LGBT Hate Crimes Project

The LGBT Hate Crimes Project began as a project to document anti-LGBT hate crimes on Wikipedia. It has since grown to encompass cases that are beyond the scope and guidelines of Wikipedia. Thus this website was founded as a clearinghouse for as many stories of hate crimes against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people as can be researched and verified, regardless of how recently they occurred or how widely they have been covered in media.

You will find two kinds of stories here:

• Hate Crimes Against LGBT People - These are crimes that were based wholly or in part upon the sexual orientation and/or gender identity of the victim.

• LGBT-Related Hate Crimes - These are hate crimes that may or may not involve LGBT victims, but that were based wholly or in part upon the perceived sexual orientation or gender identity of the victim.

Cases will be added to this site as they are researched and written. You can also see cases sorted by tags.

If you have information about cases listed here or cases not yet covered here, please use the contact form.
