When Matthew Shepard from Laramie, Wyoming was killed in 1998, that was a "hate crime" and those kids who murdered the young man should have received a severe punishment. When Eric Rudolf bombed the gay bars, and the people at the park in Atlanta, that was a "hate crime". If someone pinched you on the butt, and you jap slapped them, I don't think that could be classified as a hate crime. People should keep their hands to themselves.
I am a proponent of "hate crime" legislation. I could care less if two people of the same sex want to get married. What is the difference in some gay person who has worked all of their life, and paid into social security, and their spouse of the same sex receiving their social security benefits when they die, and some skinny good looking man who is married to a big fat ugly nasty slobby looking woman receiving his, or visa versa?
If you have dogs in your house and you like to tongue kiss them, then that is your business. I am not too excited about kissing anyone or any animals that eats crap, but if you want to do, go for it.
We need to try and take care of our lives, and let other people live theirs. 50 years ago, no white person dared to marry a black person or visa versa in this area. It is now common. It hasn't bothered me, because I did not care.
The missionary from Cleveland who got killed in Iraq, Iran or Pakistan a while back, he had no business there trying to change those people's religion. Again, their religious conviction is no more our business, than our religions are theirs. Christains are quick to say Muslims are going to hell, and Muslims are quick to call Christians infidels. Why can't we just not worry about other people and what they do?
