I think you preserved your mind with your false premise.

How is a law that protects homosexuals from being targeted for being homosexual "extra"? As a heterosexual, I don't need to be protected for being homosexual (or for being heterosexual for that matter).

Anyway, this whole thing is moot because under the law, we are protected from crimes based on sexual orientation, which technically means we're all covered equally.

The issue is that some groups aren't treated equally.
