The argument in this thread seems to be about whether or not there should be any hate crime legislation. According to the article
Quote:

The law expands the definition of violent federal hate crimes to those committed because of a victim’s sexual orientation. Under existing federal law, hate crimes are defined as those motivated by the victim’s race, color, religion or national origin.

So, given that hate crime legislation exists, should it cover sexual orientation? I would say "yes".
