Hate crimes are just crimes. There's no need to label them as "hate crime" it's very rare a guy runs up and kicks another guys ass because he "loves" him.
http://www.house.gov/hensarling/rsc/...HateCrimes.pdf
For example, the state of Connecticut passed hate crimes legislation in 2004, which specifically codifies definitions of sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability to include dozens of variant identities and disorders defined by the American Psychiatric Association. In its publication entitled Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, “disabilities” such as autogynephilia, coprophilia, necrophilia, pedophilia, transsexual, transvestite, zoophilia, and many others are included as protected classes. As such, these same groups may be covered by H.R. 1592. Thus, a violent crime against an individual that is targeted because he is a transsexual or a necrophile (sexual arousal or activity with a corpse) will be investigated, prosecuted, and sentenced more harshly than an identical violent crime against a pregnant woman or a police officer.
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
