I never claimed that the race hate laws are a bad thing. I was answering your claim that gays are so down trodden and persecuted. They kill many thousand of African Americans because of race over many years. And no tough laws are brought in to stop this. They kill one person who happened to be gay. And tough new laws are brought in asap. That occurrence, shows that gays are not down trodden and persecuted.

No, it shows that society has moved on and recognises that they need to take action to prevent a problem before it reaches the extremities of the black race prejudice. Doesn't mean that there aren't still countless people out there who would quite happily do the same as they did to the gays as the blacks. We may not perhaps be in as bad a situation as they were, and in some cases still are, but there is still a lot of hatred out there.
