But on the other hand, you have someone who happens not to be heterosexual.

Do you think it's all the same?
yes, it's all the same. we're all human beings who deserve to be treated equally. by imposing a harsher sentence on someone because they committed a crime against someone of a persuasion they hated, but the same crime against someone of like skin color or orientation, is providing special protection to the first class.
