Experts say cases like this highlight the need for hate crime laws that protect LGBTQ victims, mainly because they are class of people who have fallen prey to a host of attacks on every front.
After conducting data analysis of FBI hate crime statistics for 15 years, the SPLC found that the LGBTQ community was the most targeted “by far,” she said. The political dynamics are very much against being able to add protections to the LGBTQ community because of the bigotry surrounding the community, particularly in the south, Beirich said.But other experts add that although hate crime laws are helpful, they are not the only the only way to help this community from being preyed upon.
There should be resources made available to the community to help build relationships with police officers, he said. If an LGBTQ person is reporting a crime against them, it should be taken seriously so the community feels safe to report these crimes, he added. Law enforcement and prosecutors must also show a commitment to pursue these cases.
Cons saying 'they are not a protected class.' 14A says citizens have equal protection of the laws. Enough. LTGBQ are covered too. They are citizens.
