Hate crime legislation is about as Orwelian as a law can get. Making murder MORE illegal because the victim is gay or black or another minority class? Why enter subjectivity into a cut and dry crime? While opposing homophobic hate crime legislation may indeed make him homophobic , why do we need more legislation based around a flawed concept anyway?

Will, it's like your saying one group is being persecuted so we must persecute all groups to make things fair. That's the road to tyranny imo.
