When's the last time the US publicly executed a homosexual person or adulterer, with or without trial?

If you include lynchings (and I am), very recently:

Mob violence and hate crimes =/= state sanctioned violence.

Readers should note that all of the cited examples here are considered criminal and illegal in the United States.

They literally asked "with or without trial"

i.e. state sanctioned execution without trial.

No law on earth can prevent someone from acquiring a weapon and killing members of the LGBT community, the difference is whether this is tolerated and/or endorsed by the state.

You provided a list of heinous crimes that in no way reflects the views of the United States.

To make it even clearer, recent LGBT violence is not even remotely relatable to the widespread lynchings of Black Americans (which you are invoking with this word) that was 'illegal' yet systemically tolerated in the early-mid 1900s.

Literally none of these LGBT crimes were associated with a mob proclaiming justice as was the case with historical lynchings.

With trial seems to be 1785 [1]. Without trial here's a list of killings in the last year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_violence_against_LG...

I'm sure you understand the difference between an individual committing a crime (of which most in your list are not even killings) and a state-sanctioned execution. So what's the purpose of this comment, other than to mislead?

Not execute. But there were laws against “sodomy” - ie consensual non heterosexual sex between adults in some southern states as late as the 80s and people went to jail.

> there were

There still are! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodomy_laws_in_the_United_Stat...

> As of March 2023, 14 states either have not yet formally repealed their laws against sexual activity among consenting adults or have not revised them to accurately reflect their true scope as a result of Lawrence v. Texas.

While Lawrence v Texas does limit these laws, there's a concerted effort to repeal it, and if that happens, these laws will go back into effect.
