    No worries, I appreciate the apology. If I have to give up the ability to sue anybody that dared not serve me because of my sexuality, I would happily forfeit that, for marriage seeing as I wouldn't sue somebody for such a thing in the first place.

    My point is that you're attacking the wrong people. Instead of opposing gay people, oppose the existence of hate crime status. I recognize on an intellectual level that there's no good reason for hate crimes to get harsher punishments than crimes not motivated by hate, but honestly, I don't really give enough of a damn about the neonazis of the world to actually put effort into it. If they get extra prison time it's no skin off my back.

    Trying to create a multi-class legal system in order to correct past wrongs starts out with good intentions, and at first many people ignore the multi-class legal system because it doesn't impact them personally, but when the abuse starts and it does impact you personally its too late.

    I agree, the class system is messed up. In my opinion there should only be three legal classes, adults, children and handicapped.
