i agree. hate all you want, but there need to be laws that protect people who live certain lifestyles or whatever from ignorant fucks who can't keep a lid on their feelings and let that passion permeate their actions. but it needn't always necessarily a violent act to be considered breaking the law, i don't think. flying a swastika in front of a group of jewish people, or hanging nooses in the open for people of color to see; those things aren't just hateful thoughts, those are symbols that, in the past, preceded some very horrendous acts. those things, to us, are promises of what's to come.
