But my point is that if somebody gets into a bar fight for example, over something as trivial as a sporting event, and the person who lost the fight just happened to be gay, would it be fair to charge him with a hate crime on top of assault? Would that be just?
That's where it gets hairy IMO when it comes to hate crime laws.
