Example paragraphs from years where LGBTQ terms' nearest neighbors had exceptionally high and low valence.

Valence	Year	Example
Low	1999	Matthew Shepard, a gay college student in Wyoming, had been pistol-whipped and left to die after being tied to a fence on Oct. 7, 1998. Aaron McKinney, who was charged with first-degree murder and other crimes in connection with Mr. Shepard's killing, went on trial Monday, denying that the act was a hate crime, but rather connected to drug use and outrage at a sexual advance he said Mr. Shepard made.
Low	2014	Uganda's vehement anti-gay movement began in 2009 after a group of American preachers went to Uganda for an anti-gay conference and then worked with Ugandan legislators to draft a bill that called for putting gay people to death. While the bill was being debated, attacks against gay Ugandans began to increase. In early 2011, David Kato, a slight, bespectacled man and one of the country's most outspoken gay rights activists, was beaten to death with a hammer.
Low	2014	“Hey, @McDonalds: You're sending #CheersToSochi while goons wearing Olympic uniforms assault LGBT people,” read one comment last week, from the author and activist Dan Savage.
High	1993	The regulations, which are to take effect Feb. 5, codify the Administration's policy that was worked out as a compromise with the Joints Chiefs of Staff, who had defended the 50-years-old ban, arguing that allowing homosexuals to serve openly would hurt the morale of troops, and thus hurt military readiness.

LGBTQ terms are shown in bold.
