The violence that has occurred over the existence of the LGBT community has been very extensive considering how long the incidents have occurred. From the first incident that was recorded in the 1969 stone wall riots to the present, there have been many more reports and other happenings of violence against this group of people in the United States. These attacks revolve around the idea that there is a normal way for people to live, being that opposite genders are together and not the same genders. Throughout time the number and statistics of these acts of violence have increased greatly due to the believe of religious and political views. These are not the only ideas; however there are other reasons that are not known to people and they may have a greater impact than the generally known reasons. Many studies have been done in order to help and better identify what the main reasons were and who the main affected groups of people were. Political protests have been done to try and crack down on more of these attacks with a greater penalty.
