the easiest way to get a disproportionate amount of attention to an issue is to portray it as a rights issue....liberals will jump on it every time, usually to the neglect of other stuff, like running the country. Gays have the same protections under the criminal code as everyone else in this country. The existing hypocritical argument is that gays should be "more equal" than others...after all, in a lot of cases the same people that want Quebec to be recognized as "distinct" because they are different than Anglos are the same vocal bunch that say gays need to use the term "married" to be the same while in fact they are definitely different.
The real issue is about using sensationalism in the left media to get special protections. If we had the death penalty, could we execute a killer of a gay twice if the killing was deemed a hate crime?
