Oh my. The opponents claim of denying their religious right to hate is particularly endearing.

Look. It's simple. Any idiot can say we queers are going to hell. Who cares? I don't believe in hell, anyway. That's not hate speech.

The bill seeks to amend the federal code to prohibit
willfully causing bodily injury to any person "because of the actual or

Basically, that's right. But if you expect me to teach you the perils of prejudice you've come to the wrong place. There are enough examples where people have been motivated simply by hatred of a class of people to warrant special laws to attempt to make this sort of crime a special case. If you think this is unjust complain to your representative. You'll get no sympathy from me.
