I certainly agree that genocide doesn’t have to be restricted to killing. China is genociding every non Han group by enforcing mandarin and banning local schooling. But LGBT people can be any race, religion, nationality, ethnicity, culture. It is not a genocide. It’s horrible and backwards, but not genocide.
I find excluding LGBTQ people from a group of people which can be genocided awfully strange. Like sure unlike those groups LGBTQ people will always pop up so to speak so you can’t eradicate us like you could with cluture or ethnicity but does it actually matter when talking about genocide?
What matters is the harm and the degree of harm done on to the group not which type of group it is.
