I think that th earticle ignores the fact that there are already enhancements within our current laws. For example, if you are caught dealing crack cocaine as opposed to powder, you will get a harsher sentence. This enhancement affects mostly minorities, even though cocaine is cocaine, just like murder is murder.

A hate crimes enhancement is no different from any other enhancement. We should, instead of fretting about the potential for an application which would hinder the preaching of the Gospel, preach it in such a way that pwoplw will stop doing violence to others beccause of race, gender, national origin, or even perversity or lack thereof.

The fact that homosexual sex is ungodly does not justify murdering someone because he or she professes to enjoy sex with someone of the same gender. Our society expects us to treat all people with respect; no one should be viewed as an acceptable target simply because we don't like something about them, even if it is immoral.
