“Taunting her for being a lesbian.” Oh my. That makes it a hate crime. Double the sentences, particularly in front of a San Francisco judge. And of course, that’s why it’s front page news rather than being tossed back into the Metro section.

Could be.
Also could be why it’s on FR.
And why you clicked on it.

Yes, for some reason being raped as a lesbian is more degrading so we must punish them MORE. A rape is a rape. It doesn't matter if you are a pervert, a lesbian or an normal heterosexual - it's awful.

I agree with you.

My guess is this crime had nothing to do with the rainbow sticker on her car and everything to do with these four disgusting pigs were just out looking for a victim, and she just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. That said, I hope they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If the hate crime law can be used to lengthen their sentence (assuming they’re indeed guilty), then so be it. I just wish all crimes were recognized as hate crimes.
