This guy has a point: If hate crimes/hate speech are a form of "thoughtcrime", then why is it that the social conservative demographic (in most nations) has supported the legislation of moralist laws on deviating individuals, and will either protest/legislate/rule/rampage against such individuals?

So while it is true that hate crime/hate speech are a form of thoughtcrime, should the comparison go both ways in the debate over the treatment of LGBT people in more religiously-inclined regions, including those of this nation?
