Beats me.
You know what, there are demented heterosexual killers out there to. You can't paint a whole group of people for what a few do.
As far as hate crimes legislation goes, we already have degrees on murder. If I make an elaborate plan to kill you I will be charged with 1st degree murder. If you and I get into an argument and then in the heat of it I pick up a bat and smash your head in it is second degree murder, and so on. I think society should punish someone harder when they are trying to terrorize a whole segment of people.
In fact to my knowledge the first person charged with a hate crime was a black in pittsburg who shot a white guy that lived in his apartment building. He was making racial comments about the person that other people overheard and when they searched his apartment found alot of black power, kill whitey crap.
Detractors are for deplance.
What dictionary are you looking at? I've used spell check many times and at times a word that does exist in a dictionary isn't programed into the spell check. Detract/detractor is another.
