Religious right pastor: Hate crime laws are to protect gay men from violence after failed seduction attempts

E.W. Jackson thinks hate crime laws are to protect gay men after failed seductions.

Two things - 1. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who believe this lie - that hate crime laws were passed to protect gay men after failed seductions  2. E.W. Jackson, I can assure you that you and I would NEVER be in a situation in which you should fear me hitting on you. I'm gay, not desperate and without taste. But even if I were, you still wouldn't have a chance. Seriously, if I ever found myself in a situation in which I was attempting to seduce you, I'd kick my own ass.
