Gays Targeted for Hate Crimes Far More Than Any Other Minority in America
The Southern Poverty Law Center has reported that gays are targeted for hate crimes far more than any other minority in America.
“The SPLC’s analysis of 14 years of hate crime data found that homosexuals, or those perceived to be gay, are more than twice as likely to be attacked in a violent hate crime as Jews or blacks; more than four times as likely as Muslims; and 14 times as likely as Latinos. The findings are based on FBI hate crime statistics from 1995 to 2008, the period for which there is complete data. The basic pattern also holds true in individual years.”
They also updated their list of anti-gay hate groups, notably the…
- National Organization for Marriage (NOM)
- American Family Association
- Americans for Truth About Homosexuality
- Concerned Women for America
- Family Research Council
