Annoyingly, the homosexual community demand the benefits of societal norms while at the same time demanding they be accepted for living outside those very same norms.

To 'hate' is to be free whether one likes it or not. hate crime will create inequality as it will protect some groups more than others. feel free to contact me following your rest.

You want more state influence, more state control, more state dependency, more welfare. The state is the problem not the solution.

It is disgusting, and i hope the men who did this get locked up. what type of crime against someone's property or person is not based on 'hate' to some degree or another.
