What exactly is a hate crime

Tweet

When marriage becomes a hate crime... That was the title of an email that I received this week. A case was brought against an employee who said that 'Marriage is the foundation of the natural family and sustains family values'. This created quite a stir and is now the center of a court battle in the state of California. Get more details on this at this website: www.jewishworldview.com/cols/will062507.php3 , now I'd like to hear from the mylot community what they think constitutes a hate crime. Does that statement quoted above fit the categorization of a hate crime. The agenda seems very obvious, and it has far reaching implications for persons of religious persuasions which may bring a avery different spin on the term 'free speech.'
