Subject: Welcome Lamar --
In reply to: Lamar 's message, "Adding to the elephant." on 22:45:20 06/18/03 Wed

I am closer to Josh in my thinking on this subject than I am to most of my friends here on the board. Except that (unlike Josh) I have come to a conclusion. I’m in favor of HCLs, because to me the possible positives outweigh the possible negatives, but I’ve always had a problem with the concept because of my Libertarian leanings.

The idea of whether or not HCLs can be preventative is a big part of the equation for me. So I have to parrot what Eddi said in his post. I’d really like for you to document the studies that show HCLs do not prevent bias crime. What I always do with studies is to find out who financed the study. If you site several studies and I find they came from respected universities etc., that will bolster your argument. If I find they were paid for by groups with a history of hostility toward gays, of course your argument will suffer.

So I look forward to your response.
