The Gay Agenda video blog: Are hate crimes rising in number?

But I must say, Jon has more eyewear options than Imelda had shoes.

Okay -- now I'm going to watch your vlog. Keep up the good work.

than in the past. That itself ups the number. The society as  a whole is just stsrting to look at hate criems and how they work. We all know that in the past many crimes lsited as simple "assault" were hate crimes. Now people are speaking up. But even with that as a given there may be a rise as our "outness" enrages certain of our enemies. But they can't stop us. We CAN stop them, however by being alert, especially ingay neightborhoods that are presumed to be "safe." Gay-bashers often wanter in and attack people when they see an opening. So everybody take care out there.

It takes about Three generations (~60 years) for a new idea to be widely accepted. This can be seen with womens rights and the rights of african americans and with us as well. We are now entering the the second generation with my generations ideals taking a main front (if i may use military jargon). The people born in the 80's tend to have a more liberal view on the issues of homosexuality and people are realizing it isn't a choice we make and trying to beat it out of us just isn't going to work.

the idea is more accepted with the younger generation but not fully yet. we still have two older generations influencing us on what is right and wrong. But, with more visibility, people are realizing we aren't the evil civilization destroyer's we have been made out to be. thus the title to my post.

 

We are also less embarassed about being gay so we are more likely to report something as it is and not hide away. So i would say it is both being reduced but also increasing in reported incidence. One is just happening more than the other.
