Harsher Punishments for Hate Crimes
Do you think that there should be harsher punishments for sexual orientation hate crimes? It is known that there is 7 states yet that don't have laws for hate crimes against sexual orientation. I am in favor for harsher punishments for hate crimes against sexual orientation. No one deserves to be treated wrongly because of their choice of lifestyle. Everyone can live their life the way they want to as long as they are happy.

Absolutely not. It doesn't matter if a person was murdered because the perpetrator dislikes gay people or the particularly ugly tie the victim happened to be wearing. The crime is murder. The life of a gay person when taken away is worth no more or less than the life of anyone else, and the crime of killing such a person is made no worse or no better by taking their sexual orientation into consideration.
