statistics show gay men's hate crime statistics are orders of magnitude higher

They're beefing their numbers by considering rude tweets a hate crime.

thats what i find so strange and annoying.

there are multiple metrics on how to measure "hate crimes" and with gay people, they only usually bother reporting things when they've had a beer bottle smashed on their skull or there's blood from some gay-bashing. so they had the highest reported physical assaults. a very far second to them was jewish people but i mean...if you even say something rude to a jewish person about being cheap, they'd report it as a hate crime so you can tell that homophobia is a serious problem but most other minorities besides women and their physical assaults arent as high or widespread.

so many groups have been taught to "beef up their numbers" but gays and lesbians usually have this, "why even call the cops...so they could relish the news of what just happened?" type of attitude.

i find it interesting how they get far with doing this though. homosexuals have this apathy and "we'll just stick to ourselves and trust no one" mentality but transexuals have this psychotic "you must love me and anything less than that means you deserve to be ruined" energy.
