Lesbian,gay,bisexual,transgender,queer,intersex,and asexual (LGBTQIA+) people frequently experience violence directed toward their sexuality,gender identity,or gender expression. This violence may be enacted by the state,as in laws prescribing punishment for homosexual acts,or by individuals. It may be psychological or physical and motivated by biphobia,gayphobia,homophobia,lesbophobia,aphobia,and transphobia. Influencing factors may be cultural,religious,or political mores and biases.
Lesbian,gay,bisexual,and transgender (LGBT) rights in Croatia have expanded since the turn of the 21st century,especially in the 2010s and 2020s. However,LGBT people still face some legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBTQ residents. The status of same-sex relationships was first formally recognized in 2003 under a law dealing with unregistered cohabitations. As a result of a 2013 referendum,the Constitution of Croatia defines marriage solely as a union between a woman and man,effectively prohibiting same-sex marriage. Since the introduction of the Life Partnership Act in 2014,same-sex couples have effectively enjoyed rights equal to heterosexual married couples in almost all of its aspects,except adoption. In 2022,a final court judgement allowed same-sex adoption under the same conditions as for mixed-sex couples. Same-sex couples in Croatia can also apply for foster care since 2020. Croatian law forbids all discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation,gender identity,and gender expression in all civil and state matters;any such identity is considered a private matter,and such information gathering for any purpose is forbidden as well.
Lesbian,gay,bisexual,and transgender (LGBT) people in Belarus face severe challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Although same-sex sexual activity is legal in Belarus,gay and lesbian rights in the country are otherwise severely limited and homosexuality remains highly stigmatized in Belarusian society. Households headed by same-sex couples are not eligible for the same legal protections available to opposite-sex couples. Belarus provides no anti-discrimination protections for LGBT people,nor does it prohibit hate crimes based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Many Belarusian people believe that homosexuality is a psychiatric illness,and many LGBT persons in Belarus tend to hide their sexual orientation in public. Those who are "out" face harassment,violence and physical abuse.
The Queer &Trans Alliance,formerly known as the Ten Percent Society,is the name of the first gay rights organization in North Dakota created by students and faculty at the University of North Dakota in 1982. The organization gained its original name from a widely held belief that scientist Alfred Kinsey's research in the 1940s and 1950s had stated that ten percent of the population was gay. While the organization had little early success,it started to foster an increased tolerance for gay people and a more active LGBT rights movement in North Dakota.

Nevertheless,Moldova bans discrimination based on sexual orientation in the workplace,and same-sex sexual activity has been legal since 1995.
Moscow Pride was a demonstration of lesbians,gays,bisexuals,and transgender people (LGBT). It was intended to take place in May annually since 2006 in the Russian capital Moscow,but has been regularly banned by Moscow City Hall,headed by Mayor Yuri Luzhkov until 2010. The demonstrations in 2006,2007,and 2008 were all accompanied by homophobic attacks,which was avoided in 2009 by moving the site of the demonstration at the last minute. The organizers of all of the demonstrations were Nikolai Alekseev and the Russian LGBT Human Rights Project Gayrussia.ru. In June 2012,Moscow courts enacted a hundred-year ban on gay pride parades. The European Court of Human Rights has repeatedly ruled that such bans violate freedom of assembly guaranteed by the European Convention of Human Rights.
