Calling all lawyers. Can the anti-homosexual "christian" clan be guilty [View All]

of slander or of inciting harm on another person because of their widespread anti-gay behavior, especially toward children? I had thought that a hate crime needed to involve violence but according to Wicopedia:


"The actions considered criminal are using force or threat of force to willfully injure, intimidate, interfere with, oppress, or threaten any other person in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him or her by the Constitution or laws of the State or country."

To me it sounds like enough to bring about a lawsuit against these freaks that tell little children that gay people are immoral, sick, sinful etc. Even if that child is not gay such teachings would promote intolerance and possibly violence toward gays. If you preached that another race was immoral your ass would get hung on the wall.

And to all the naysayers, remember there was a time when black women had to give their seats up to white men and most people thought that was the way it was and the was it was always going to be.


I also have to say that it is quite ironic that "Christians" consider themselves to be persecuted. Maybe it has something to do with: "Do unto others"



California Penal Code section 422.6 offers a wider interpretation of hate crime, defining it as those acts "committed because of the victim's actual or perceived race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, gender, or sexual orientation. The actions considered criminal are using force or threat of force to willfully injure, intimidate, interfere with, oppress, or threaten any other person in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him or her by the Constitution or laws of the State or country."

Some supporters reason that one who can be moved to violence by hatred of a class of people presents greater danger to society than one who merely hates an individual. Their position states that if normal punishments are inadequate deterrents, then additional punishments may deter crimes motivated by hate. Other proponents of hate crime legislation consider that politically correct or socially sanctioned hate is a problem, and that legislation will need to explicitly cover those often deemed less worthy of protection, such as WASP men.
