"The facts, ma'am. Just the facts."
Just because one dirtbag murders a homosexual dirtbag, does that make him a "homophobic" dirtbag?
The media is quick to label people homophobic, even those who just think the lifestyle is kinda ooky.
Here's another topic. This inmate murdered a fellow inmate. If it turns out he did it because the priest was homosexual, will he be charged with a hate crime? Why are crimes against minorities considered hate crimes, while a trailer trash guy killing his ex-girlfriend's new squeeze is not? Both crimes involve an equal amount of hate.[/b]No, the crime doesn't make him homophobic, his own admissions of homophobia make him homophobic.
And I do agree with you that the label of "hate crime" is ridiculous in its exclusivity. I'd be pissed off if someone got a lesser sentence if they committed a crime against me, but it wasn't a "hate crime." What a load of crap.
