I'm not sure I agree with the concept of hate crimes. To me, violent crime is wrong and must be punished severely, whether or not it's motivated by hate. And as disgusting as hate is, this is a free country, where people have the right to hate. When the government enters the business of trying to determine who hates whom, then where do we go next?
Gay marriage, on the other hand, should be legal, for basically the same reasons. The government should not be deciding what kinds of adults should have the right to enter into a legal union.
In other words, violence is wrong, and marriage is beautiful, regardless of who's involved.
