In the US, there's a lot of talk about new hate crime laws. Mostly on the part of fundamentalist christians, who say that these laws will block their freedom of speech, and freedom of religion.
Apparently, hate is okay when it's part of your religion.
Here's a tip.... if you don't want to be accused of hate crimes, screaming "DIE FAGS DIE" at every available opportunity probably isn't a good idea.
I get it, it's your religion. However, that does NOT mean that it isn't hate. If my religion involved hate of black people, should I be exempt from hate crime laws? Should it be okay for me to bar blacks from marrying, or holding certain jobs, or joining the military? No. Even if it's my religion, it's still hate. Perhaps, if you're sick of having christianity accused of being hateful, join a less hateful religion. Seriously, your holy book is like Hate 101. Why are you surprised when people point that out? Haven't you read it??
