As gay and lesbian rights are more clearly recognized, as same-sex marriage is normalized, and as gay men and lesbians are more confident and comfortable in public, this is bound to happen: the remaining neanderthals respond to the flaunting of their prejudices and the evolution of a society away from them in the only way they know: violence.
To those who oppose hate crimes legislation as constituting double jeopardy or "special treatment" or "thought crime": too damn bad. These hateful, vicious guys are selecting their victims to make a political and social statement. they should be put away and seriously tormented for a good long while.
Gay Hate Crime happening all over, due to the mania of religious groups pushing their doctrine. It's out of control and getting worse. Our enemies point to NAMBLA thinking we are all after their children.
Well, what's our verdict? Is violence against us increasing, or are prosecutors more willing to recognize that violence as a hate crime?
