From the L.A. Times:
Los Angeles County saw an overall 4% drop in hate crimes last year, while crimes against gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people increased, prompted in part by last November’s highly charged Proposition 8 initiative, the voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage in California, according to a new report released today.
There were 134 sexual-orientation hate crimes reported last year, up from 111 in 2007, and were more likely to be violent than hate crimes motivated by race or religion, according to the annual Hate Crime Report by the Los Angeles County Commission on Human Relations.
So yeah, all that violence against the Christians that religious types were screeching about last year after the election? It was apparently the other way around. Who would have thought that it’s actually the ignorant bigots who were the violent ones and not the queers who were upset about being stripped of their civil rights?
Go figure.
