I am so sorry to read about such incidents. They are heartbreaking. I feel bad about the awful experience of these innocent people. Thank you for writing about this important mental health issue. I noticed the hatred against such marginalized groups in the USA when I posted a science story slightly touching on the LGBTQ community on NewsBreak a few months ago. First time in my life I have seen so many hate comments which were hard to stomach. Most of them relate the scientific points reflecting diversity in nature to transgenders and showing their hatred towards them. I was happy the same story received great feedback on Medium. I briefly wrote about this sad experience to create awareness. I link it here for interested readers.

Thank you for mentioning the mental health month. We need to talk more about such issues and create a healthy dialogue leading to empathy and compassion for marginalized groups.
