Here are some actual examples of hate crimes:

If the two women were beaten by homophobes who felt that lesbians should not kiss in public, because it's "unnatural" or "sinful", that would be a hate crime against lesbians.

If a female firefighter were attacked because the attackers felt that firefighting is a "man's job" and they shouldn't doing it, that would be a hate crime against women.

If a black person were attacked because a racist simply hates black people and hates seeing them in pubic, that would be a hate crime.



This is not a hate crime.
