Yes there is a migration with LGBT people, they all tend to flee the hick towns they come from to find refuge in San Francisco. The straight white male does not need special treatment because he is not a minority, where as anyone who is classified as different is. Chances are that if your a straight white male you can do simple tasks like buying groceries without receiving harassment from people. I dare all of you to pretend to be gay for a week in public and see how many people call you a fag, give you weird stares, and make fun of you. Try to stay happy when you've had a bullied day. You won't tolerate it. Bottom line is Gay people struggle with society more than you'll ever do. Your life isn't a constant battle, you don't have any enemies like they do. When do you hear on the news about a person being killed ONLY for being a straight white male? Never. A lesbian woman was recently raped here in Richmond, California. When has a straight white male been raped for being a straight white male? You people have pure hate in your heart and I'm sure most of you identify as Christian yet your actions and words are not saintly. What gives you the right to attack me and/or murder me for not sharing the same beliefs as you? I obviously don't agree with your views but that doesn't mean I should have a pass to violence against you. Your not a true American. America is supposed to be the land of the free and diverse. The persecuted would come here to escape. Using your religious beliefs as an excuse to take away minorities rights is not American. Every human is unique and not all of us share the same opinion. There's people who don't believe in God and think it's a fairy tale, should they be allowed to close down churches and use "There has been no proof or evidence of a God existing" as their excuse? No, so the same should be for the other. Two men kissing is not going to affect your life, it has no impact on it so why should you pathetically and desperately protest against it? Let me use a simple tongue-in-cheek example: I don't agree with the way Paris Hilton lives her lifestyle but I'm not gonna protest to have her rights taken away. Just as silly as that sounds, it is just as silly as you sound. ~End Of Story~ xoxo - Emma Fri, 22 May 2009 05:19:18 +0100 http://www.rightsidenews.com/200905084690/culture-wars/here-we-ago-again-ridiculous-hate-crime-legislation.html#comment-2384 http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/40258.htm In 2004, the U.S. State Department issued a report on Global Anti-Semitism, whereby they called for "Hate Crime Legislation" to correct any mistreatment or insult to Jews. According to the report (go read it) the New Testament is not only offensive to Jews, it is blamed, partially, for the Holocaust. This was 2004. I don't think Obama had anything to do with the State Department in 2004. - JoanofArc Sun, 10 May 2009 15:53:50 +0100 http://www.rightsidenews.com/200905084690/culture-wars/here-we-ago-again-ridiculous-hate-crime-legislation.html#comment-2375 You people supporting these bills are not understanding the underlying point. ONE, I don't condone hate crimes and neither do the majority of the citizens of the United States. The argument is that there should not be EXTRA SPECIAL TREATMENT for these individual groups. TWO, everyone that commits an act of violence against another already is held accountable by the laws already in place. Why should there be ADDITIONAL punishment for crimes against a particular sexual preference, race, or religion? That is essentially saying that a crime against a homosexual is "twice" as "bad" as a crime against a WASP (white, anglo-saxon, protestant). Besides the fact that proving that the crime was motivated by one of these factors is not as easily assertained assumption. This is ludicrous! On what Constitutional grounds are you given special treatment because you are different? The answer? YOU ARE NOT. That is why these bills are completely unconstitutional and therefore, against the law. That is why the states are SUPPOSED to be given the right to VOTE on the issues that are most relevant to their constituents and not the role of BIG GOVERNMENT to force others to be punished for speaking out against what they feel is wrong. There is a reason why "middle America" does not follow lock step with those in California or Massachusetts. There is a REASON why people live where they choose to live. People tend to live around those most like them…or they just accept their environment in an apathetic tone. Read both the House bill and the Senate bill before you blindly speak about it. - Tonto Jowarski Sun, 10 May 2009 00:55:37 +0100 http://www.rightsidenews.com/200905084690/culture-wars/here-we-ago-again-ridiculous-hate-crime-legislation.html#comment-2365 While there is a considerable amount of discrimination against transsexuals specifically (who are not transvestites, or "drag queens," as you denigrate them (as the First Amendment allows you to, but it doesn't help either your presentation or your appearance)), about half of that is by other members of the gay community, who are quite willing to toss them under the bus as a bargaining chip for "rights" for upper class white male gays like, say, Barney Frank. I'm not sure how an order from our political betters on the left to "stop doing what we don't like you to do" is expected to have any effect. Orders to people not to speed, drink, do drugs or commit violence in general don't seem to have had much effect. It seems punishing each crime on its merits works, but is unpopular with that same left. FYI, transsexuals are usually suffering from some genetic flaw that causes their genes to be messed up. Insulting them is on par with insulting the blind, the deformed, or Downs sufferers. - m Sat, 09 May 2009 12:22:49 +0100 http://www.rightsidenews.com/200905084690/culture-wars/here-we-ago-again-ridiculous-hate-crime-legislation.html#comment-2364 I can't believe that the House version actually passed. How ridiculous. Why don't we all claim to be "special" and then every possible slight towards someone else becomes a felony. That will solve the over crowded prison problem....riiiight. I figured that everyone else on the hill would have seen this for what it is...Kennedy's life long political goal. That and an INSANE idea from a man that HAS A BRAIN TUMOR. Pardon the pun, but there is no way this man is in his right mind. Perhaps a full frontal lobotomy would be a better use of our tax dollars. - MTPatriot Sat, 09 May 2009 01:43:17 +0100 http://www.rightsidenews.com/200905084690/culture-wars/here-we-ago-again-ridiculous-hate-crime-legislation.html#comment-2363 I can't believe that the House version actually passed.

Good argument! I'll let people know that you're advocating for more. (And getting paid to do it.) - fuzzygruf Fri, 08 May 2009 08:22:21 +0100
