Incidents and violence motivated by hatred against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people take different forms: physical violence, hate speech, threats of violence, verbal abuse, etc. Incidents and violence targeting LGBT people also take place in different places, including public areas, schools, the workplace, or in the privacy of the home.
