I'm sorry that you had those experiences. I've watched people die in hospital beds, knowing that their partners don't have a legal right to be there, knowing they were going to receive no life insurance, knowing that they had no right to their partners body.

Sorry about that, shouldn't have been so lazy and only used anecdotes. ^^

Are you googling these? They're (1) about self-reported discrimination compared against mental health which is, uh...... a goes-both-ways sort of conclusion, (2) an article about racism from Y2K, and (3) a [s]term paper[/s] ACTUAL RESEARCH PAPER BY AN ACTUAL PhD, my mistake -- but also an article on racism. POINT BEING all pretty tangential. Support that argument! The Pulse Nightclub Shooting, for instance. [i]Actual mass murder of gay people for being gay.[/i] That's a real thing that really happened in the real actual USA and it's fucking disgusting. And see? Cased closed. Violent homophobia is demonstrably real and deadly.
