I cannot conceive of treating a person differently because of their life styles...what counts most for me is how the person treats me...treat me with disrespect and thats what you gain in return, respect my beliefs and space and Ill do my darndest to respect yours.
I agree, theres no need for further laws. If someone goes " fag-bashing" I think thats called "assault", which is a crime. One charge should fit all, no need to call it something else. Sentencing, thats what determines the severity, not just another name. I dont particularly approve of men pumping each other up the butt, but hey its a free country. And the laws protect them without adding any more.
