LGBT media outlets are implying the Trump administration is responsible for reports that the LGBT homicide rate doubled from 2016 to 2017. The media reports are citing an 86 percent increase in homicides, indicating a disturbing and sudden rise in violence. The details are laid out in a report from the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs titled, “A crisis of hate a report on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and Queer Hate Violence Homicides in 2017.” But a closer look at those details, as is often the case, reveals some problems with the conclusion drawn in the headline.
In 2016 there were 28 murders of LGBT Americans. This increased to 52 murders in 2017. Remarkably, the 2016 Pulse Night Club Islamic terrorist attack, always referred to as a “shooting,” in which 49 members of the LGBT community were intentionally targeted and murdered, is not included in these statistics. The context of the murders, however, suggest most of them were not necessarily motivated by the victim’s sexual orientation.
We are releasing this report during a time when our communities are witnessing the few civil rights protections and policies being rolled back and discrimination being instituted into law,” the report begins, “when media organizations and organizations working with survivors are receiving an unprecedented number of stories of hate fueled attacks.”
The murders are referred to as “hate violence” and “anti-LGBT homicides” throughout the report, which helpfully includes a comprehensive list of all the murder victims and a brief description of the details surrounding their deaths. Each individual has multiple news reports associated with their murder, including the original local report as well as larger media pieces. Although many lack sufficient information to determine a motive, a majority provide enough details to understand some of the context surrounding the murders.

A good chunk of “GerBiL” murders can be attributed to domestic violence, queers murdering queers. Now that they’re getting fake “married,” that puts them more in constant proximity of their violent partners. No surprise.
