The U.S. Department of State's 2010 Human Rights Report found that "discrimination and violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons was a problem, and LGBT individuals often kept their status secret from the community for fear of being harassed or discriminated against".
美国国务院2010年《人权报告》发现，“对女同性恋者，男同性恋者，双性恋者和跨性别（LGBT）的歧视和暴力是一个社会问题，而LGBT个人往往将自己的身份保密，以免受到社会的骚扰或歧视。
