A three-fold spike in homophobic hate crimes in Santa Clara County over the past year is being blamed on the fallout over Proposition 8, the voter measure than banned same-sex marriage in California.
Good. The next time some right-wing ideologue argues that opponents of Prop 8 (read: gay people) are the violent terrorists in California, I'll bring this nice little statistic up.
This is so sad, but it's what you get when you legislate hate. You make it okay to, well, hate.
