Hate crime because they are gay?
Edited on Sat Apr-30-11 06:26 PM by Bluzmann57
Yeah I think so.
Locally, an openly gay pastor says it's a hate crime that someone has stolen the Christian pride flag and damaged the flag pole in front of his church. Six times in one year, someone has stolen the flag. Six times. The newspaper article explains it better than I can, but it is an outrage and should not happen in a civilized society.
Honesty compels me to say that I have met this guy, although I don't know him well. He is a nice guy. He has been very active on the local political scene.
www.qctimes.com and there are three tabs at the top left of the page. Click on the one that says "Pastor calls stolen flag a hate crime".
I also wish to apologize for this somewhat disjointed post. I'm really tired after working all day.
On edit- click the tab that says Pride Flag. Told you, I'm tired. Shower and kicking back watching hockey sounds pretty good right about now.

1. Oh well
Thought maybe I may get a comment or two. I guess it ain't meant to be.

2. Maybe atheists are unknowingly doing the devil's work. Would that be a hate crime?
