"There were fewer hate crimes committed against people based on an animus toward their sexual behavior than there were committed toward people based on religion," he reports. "So that is to say there were more hate crimes committed against people because of anti-religious bias than there [were] for anti-homosexual bias."
Another consideration is how hate crimes are defined in the statistics.
"We know from past years that the vast majority of those so-called 'hate crimes' are usually pushing and shoving and coarse words, kind of harassing language -- very few that involve aggravated assault, and even fewer that involve death or serious bodily injury," the Liberty Counsel Action vice president notes.
Barber adds that the leading basis for hate crimes was race, followed by religion. Even so, "It seems the only thing we hear the media talking about are alleged hate crimes against people because they are considered gay or lesbian."

Donations of any size can help
Restore Marriage in NH.
Homosexuals spent over $43 million dollars trying to defeat Prop 8 in California.
In Maine, they outspent supporters of Traditional Marriage by over 2 to 1 attempting to stop the People's Veto.
Homosexuals spare no cost trying to force states to conform to their demands.
These efforts to thwart the will of citizens can only be countered by donations from those who believe returning to the real meaning of marriage is in the best interest of our society.
