Hate Crimes

According to a few news sources I've been looking at, it seems that the hate crime charges against Polis' attackers were stuffed under sexual orientation. If shit like this continues to pass unchecked it doesn't really help things. People already confuse gender identity with sexual orientation far too much, and when even those involved in the case think it's an issue of sexual orientation then we're in trouble.
