“Too often LGBTIQ people have been, and continue to be, subjected to violence and persecution, harmful and ineffective “conversion therapies”, and have their very basic human rights denied in the name of religion, so-called morality, or other traditional religious values, inciting acts of violence and hate towards LGBTIQ people. We also know that those of us who are trans or break the norms of stereotypical gender roles are often most at risk of being attacked," she said.
