Alright, that's what I meant too, saying "a crime is a crime, whether the person is disabled, colored, gay or none of those". But still, even before committing a crime, there is a difference between hating a particular person you know for having done (or not) something you can not generalize to a whole group vs. hating equally all members of a population segment. Put my original comment a different way: why do those tweeters feel allowed to publicly hate gays while it would be probably less accepted if they would publicly hate blacks?

There is a difference, no doubt about it. I'm just not sure how that difference plays in to our judicial process.
