Is it still gay-bashing if one bashes one’s self?
[insert auto-erotic joke here]
Another fabricated hate crime, this time by a gay man who claimed to have been beaten outside a bar. [more]
Personally, I’d give him the same punishment the law prescribes for the crime he falsely accused another of committing. YMMV

Beating up a gay guy in a bar isn’t a “hate crime,” it’s friggin’
assault. (It’s a crime to beat up a straight Ohio State fan in an Ann Arbor bar, too, understandable as that might be.) The concept of “hate crime” legitimizes the codification of protected-vs-unprotected classes which is vital to class warfare or “social justice” (see: socialism, racism). It is also a blatant violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, in my mind. It’s already a Federal crime to deprive one of one’s civil rights.
I hate the concept of hate crime. Hate crime is though crime. Crime is an act, not a thought.
How does it differ from a greed crime or an anger crime or a jealousy crime or a bully crime or a laziness crime or (you get the picture)? The crime is the act (a violation of codified social order), only the punishment should take into account the motivation and only to the degree of seriousness for the victim.

It sure seems that a lot of elements of that particular topic are fabrications, (read that lies), such as the advertised percentage of the population that is gender confused.

Yes, knowingly false reports of crimes are themselves a crime.
Jug him.
Ironically, it seems to me that open, law-abiding male homosexuals are put at risk because of this shallow man`s law breaking for some stupid “Agenda for face time, sick illusion as a hero spokesman, natch, adding prospects for money!”
Reality? He is a Berk AND a Bindlestiff, glaikit & meacock!

Doug – explains why I ain’t no dadburned lawyer, dunnit?
Yeah, and that’s precisely why I want you to be Chief Judge and executioner when I’m elected King For A Month.
“It’s a crime to beat up a straight Ohio State fan in an Ann Arbor bar, too”
Yeah but it shouldn’t be. dammit. Those suckeyes should be harvested for their blubber to bring down heating oil prices and their remains used as compost since their all full of crap anyways… :)
The only place for “hate crime” consideration is at sentencing. I think it would be reasonable to take into consideration the motive of a perp who has already been convicted of a real crime,
I really think the punishment for false accusation should be the SAME as the crime they are professing that happened.
That is, if they cry rape, then the punishment would be the same time a rapist would have to serve.
Hate crime, same punishment.
That way, one hesitates to lie about what happened.

Mulder: Why are you telling me that?
Clyde Bruckman: Look, forget I mentioned it. It’s none of my business.
It’s Fight Club for gays.
The peculiar thing is that many gays go to bars IN ORDER to get beaten.
I like Paul’s idea – but can we expand it in some way to also cover the media that broadcasts their hoaxatious stories? When they report on an alleged hate crime, people act on it and more violence results. I think if a media outlet runs the perpetrator/”victim”‘s false story, it ought to at least shoulder some of the costs of his prosecution and incarceration, since it surely contributes to the burden on the courts and prisons.
