Reported attacks on LGBT individuals decreased 3 percent nationally in 2006. San Francisco is in line with the rest of the United States with an 11 percent decrease in reported violent attacks, but two alarming trends surfaced: murders or deaths of transgender women and sexual assaults against gay men, according to a report by Community United Against Violence released Tuesday, May 22.

According to the report, CUAV documented 285 reported incidents of LGBT related hate crimes in the nine Bay Area counties in 2006. This was an 11 percent decrease from 322 reported incidents in 2005.
