SPLC’s Intelligence Report: Gays Targeted for Hate Crimes Far More Than Any Other Minority in America | Southern Poverty Law Center
Gays and lesbians are far more likely to be victims of a violent hate crime than any other minority group in the United States, according to a new analysis of federal hate crime statistics in the latest issue of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Report , released today. The SPLC’s analysis of 14 years of hate crime data found that gays and lesbians, or those perceived to be gay, are more than twice as likely to be attacked in a violent hate crime as Jews or blacks; more than four times as likely as Muslims; and 14 times as likely as Latinos. The findings are based on FBI hate crime statistics from 1995 to 2008, the period for which there is complete data. The basic pattern also holds true in individual years. The analysis is being released to coincide with the scheduled release of the FBI’s hate crime statistics for 2009.
