It has been a slow process all over the US but we are still much further along than say 25 years ago. Look for my pride bumper sticker on my car. :) That would be a gay pride sticker and pride in my new community of Newberry. :)

Apparently you don't know the law. The victim doesn't have to be gay, simply being attacked for being gay whether they are gay or not is sufficient evidence to charge with a hate crime.
