Gay people experience discrimination on a daily basis, ranging from violence, to mild verbal insults. Even in gay-friendly situations, there can be unintended discrimination from acquaintances and co-workers.
Examples from my personal life:
Most people (gay or straight) perceive acts of discrimination as wrong, hateful, and insulting.
As wrong.
Discrimination is discrimination in any form.
Gay people face discrimination due to prejudice and stereotypes held by individuals or institutions that may not support or accept sexual orientations beyond heterosexuality. Discrimination can stem from cultural, religious, or personal beliefs that contribute to marginalizing individuals who identify as gay. Additionally, legal and societal norms that do not provide equal rights and protections for the LGBTQ+ community can also perpetuate discrimination.

Other than discrimination from bigots, there isn't any. gay people lead normal, happy lives, just like straight people.
Adoption law varies by state, but in the US, all 50 states allow gay people to adopt, though as of 2017, gay people are still routinely denied adoption based on discrimination.
There are no problems specific to gay adoption that aren't also present in adoptions by straight people, other than state-sanctioned discrimination against the gay couple (or person) trying to adopt. In other words, gay people become the same good adoptive parents as straight people do.
Actually, prejudice, stereotype, and discrimination play 100% of the role in gay hate crimes. And most of this bad behavior is religious-based or lack-of-education-based.

It is difficult to provide an exact number as discrimination against gay people can vary across different countries, regions, and even communities. However, LGBTQ+ individuals continue to face discrimination and prejudice in many parts of the world, including legal restrictions and societal prejudice that can affect their rights, opportunities, and well-being. Efforts to combat discrimination and promote equality are ongoing.
