Hate Crimes Legislation

[Rebecca informed me that my link to the statute had expired. I have updated to another link that I believe will be more permanent. Let me know what you think.]

Here is the hate crimes legislation referenced yesterday. I am still looking into why this would affect pastors teaching the biblical position on homosexuality. I just don’t see it.

Hate crimes legislation is a waste of time, surely. Just prosecute the crime committed. It is nothing more than a politcal nod to special interest groups. However, I do not think this legislation rises to the level of limiting religious speech. I can see how it could be a step toward that agenda.
