Lesbian Kills Female Classmate Who Refuses Sexual Advances, Is This a Hate Crime?

(Harrisburg) – In October President Obama signed a new federal hate crimes law with language adding ‘actual or perceived sexual orientation and gender identity.’ How that will impact the nation is yet to be seen; however a situation in Florida raises an interesting dilemma for homosexual activists and their allies who pushed for passage of this bill, noted the American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA), a statewide traditional values group.

“It is quite obvious that the recently convicted 16 year old lesbian who shot and killed her female classmate for refusing her sexual advances did so because the victim was heterosexual. Is this a hate crime?” questioned Diane Gramley, president of the AFA of PA.

In similar situations in the future will the homosexual perpetrator be charged with a hate crime for targeting a heterosexual?

In Philadelphia would Bill Smithton be charged with a hate crime for murdering Jason Shephard because he resisted his sexual advances?
In Prairie Grove, Arkansas would Joshua Brown and David Carpenter be charged with a hate crime for tying up 13-year old Jesse Dirkhising and repeatedly sodomizing him. He died in his own vomit as Brown and Carpenter took a lunch break.
In Chicago would Nicholas Gutierrez be charged with a hate crime for raping, battering, stabbing and strangling 51-year old Mary Stachowicz? Authorities found her body days after the murder, stuffed under the floorboards of Gutierrez’ apartment. He told authorities he attacked Stachowicz when she urged him to leave the homosexual lifestyle.

“Who in America recognizes their names or now the name of Amanda Collette? Just the fact that the hate crime bill signed by the President in October is named after homosexual Matthew Shepherd reveals the true intent of its advocates – give special protections to homosexuals, bisexuals and transgender individuals. I predict the murders of heterosexuals by homosexuals will continue to be ignored,” commented Gramley.

Jesse Dirkhising’s murder happened less than a year after homosexual Matthew Shepherd’s murder. Over 3,000 stories were generated by the media the month after Shepherd’s murder, while the month after Dirkhising’s murder only 46 stories were generated. The media bias continues today as they ignore stories such as the one out of Florida.
