Subject: Getting a little complicated for me but I’ll give my take on it. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than I am will explain, for sure, what‘s going on here.. I’ve got a feeling what you quoted is applicable only in cases where the “federally protected activity requirement” of the existing federal hate-crime law comes into play. Most hate-crimes against gays wouldn’t fall into this category (i.e. voting etc.)
In reply to: E.J. 's message, "A bit farther down the page is this statement: "In September 1994, Congress also enacted a Federal hate crime penalty enhancement statute (Public Law 103-322 § 28003), which would increase the penalties for Federal crimes where the victim was selected "because of the actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, gender, disability, or sexual orientation of any person." http://www.usdoj.gov/crs/pubs/htecrm.htm" on 21:40:18 06/20/03 Fri
