I hope I never hear hate speech again, such as the kind I heard out of the mouth of a co-worker while I was working.
Killing someone BECAUSE they are part of a group you HATE and want to intimidate is a hate crime.
IT harms more than just the victim of the crime but all individuals in the class of bigotry that were targeted en masse.
Hate crimes are message crimes. YOUR KIND will be eliminated.

Where the hell do you work?

Exactly. Thank you.and stand up in court to say "I am a human being, nothing more, nothing less, and they tried to take that from me." Nothing more needs be done really.
Special laws based on the way certain people have sex is just plain idiotic.
What's next?
Special laws to protect vegans based on the type of food they eat???

Actually, I have heard it, directed toward me for being white, while I was in Indiana.
One of the things I've had to cope with when I first joined this place last year, is that there are people out there who think a bill protecting gay and disabled people is a terrible thing.
To me, this just doesn't compute. On almost every other issue I can see the other side's point of view and try to understand it -- I may not agree with it, but at least I can see the other side's point of view.
With things like this -- I don't get it. There's absolutely nothing to criticize here. This protects certain members of our society by increasing the penalties on people who kill those members of our society specifically because they are gay or disabled. Please, tell me what's so terrible about this.

I believe in true equality, hate crime laws do not promote this and I do believe that they should all be abolished. The law should be blind.

Hate crime is 'message crime' and hate crime protections are 'message laws'. They tell the perpetrators that society values all it's citizens equally when they are victims of crime and singled out for crime based on merely being members of some group.
Hate crimes are crimes of terrorism.
