Subject: Is it fairly safe to say that on the issue of HCL, (gay) people fall into two categories:
In reply to: John 's message, "Hate Crime Laws" on 10:32:11 06/10/03 Tue

those against HCLs that include the words sexual orientation are against ALL HCLs in general (race, religion, etc). People against HCLs think it would cause more violence against gays by singling them out.


Those that are for HCLs think they would be a starting place for instigating postive change in law enforcement and prosecution of crimes against gay. Those that are for HCLs think they would reduce hate crimes against gays, especially assault, vadalism, and things of that nature?


Is there anyone here who is just against HCLs for gays but is for HCLs that protect other minority groups based on race or religion?


Is that a fair summary of the opinions that have thus far been expressed both pro and con??

If not, please give your thoughts.
