Crimes against LGBT appear to be on the rise according to FBI figures https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/2019/06/28/anti-gay-hate-...

The general figures https://www.justice.gov/hatecrimes/hate-crime-statistics don't seem to suggest that there's an increasing acceptance of anyone.

There are more (visible) LGBT people though, so statistics should adjust for that. Comparing also the type of crime reported today vs fifty years ago shows a very positive trend, I'd assume.
