From a recient article here on free republic.

Excerpt:
(My friend seemed uncharacteristically quiet and when I asked why, told me of an incident that had just happened to a friend of hers as she was walking into the state house. A group of homosexuals and lesbians approached and began threatening her and the others with her, tormenting them with anti-religious slurs. The attempts met with no response. One of the activists then centered on her and tried more aggressively to get her to respond, verbally abusing her until she was in tears. When she said nothing, the activist spat, “I hope your children choke and die in front of you!”)

Now I wonder what hate crime the homosexual activist would be charged with here? I suspect nothing would happen to him but the Christian would be jailed if she had defended herself.

"tormenting them with anti-religious slurs."

I will never understand the concept of a hate crime although I have met up with conservatives on Free Republic that support the notion that there is a difference in a crime because it is caused by hate.

Yes, I have seen the very bold street-queers here in San Francisco who know they can get in your face and speak with impunity.(In case you haven't heard they like being called queer now -- go figure.) You don't have the same freedom if you dress and act normally, so it is in this upside-down world we live in.

Not that I think I'd ever get in a queers face but as I said before that they don't like to even have us conservatives around and they have much superior rights here in California. They are comming to your town soon.
