Hate Crimes And Jealousy

236 Words1 Page

Over the last decade many individuals who admire the same sex have been frequent targets of violence. In fact, according to the FBI’s HCSA reports, gay men and lesbians are constantly victims of hate crimes and are number three on the list of offenses being committed. In the year of 2013 approximately 6,000 hate crimes were carried out and about 1200 of those were individuals who approved of the same sex. Due to “common individual motives, such as jealousy by their lovers and robberies gone badly” (1000s who died in anti-gay, anti-trans attacks , 2015) it is extremely difficult to pinpoint exactly how many deaths are caused by hatred. Those who have mixed feelings about their sexual orientation are more than likely to (The Nation's Premier

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of Matthew Shepard's 'About Us'

    1332 Words  | 6 Pages

    On October 7, 1998, Matthew Shepard, a gay 21-year-old college student, was abducted by two men who took him to a remote area, tied him to a fence, severely beat him with the butt of a pistol, and left him to die in the cold of the night (Matthew Shepard Foundation, “About Us”). Matthew Shepard’s death became a symbol for the deadly effect that prejudice can have on an innocent, young adult, and it gave people a chance to begin to understand how to accept people of different sexual orientations. However, 18 years later, America still hasn’t learned from Matthew Shepard’s death, and that is most evident in the Orlando night club shooting. June 12, 2016 brought upon a new era of anti-gay hate crimes when 49 people were killed and 53 were injured

  • The Effect Of Loffreda's Attack On The LGBT Community

    On the other hand, Loffreda notices the problem that is practically neglected by the media and the public, which the LGBT people’s position in the community are rather hard and the problem of hate and intolerance towards minorities are not yet solved. From the university president Phil Dubois, “nothing could match the sorrow and revulsion we feel for this attack on Matt. It is almost as sad, however, to see individuals and groups around the country react to this event by stereotyping an entire community, if not an entire state” (Loffreda, 244). The media is categorizing everyone in Laramie as the same, full of hate and prejudice, not because they are just generalizing the problem, but they want to feel superior and tries to show that they have more progressive mindset compared to the citizens in Laramie.

  • Bias Or Hate Crime: Case Study

    94 Words  | 1 Pages

    Stella, I enjoyed reading your post for this week; I found it to be pretty interesting. I did not realize the different factors you have to take into consideration in order to determine if a crime was a “bias” crime. I thought there would be a specific list that would help determine what crimes are bias crimes, however as we learned from this chapter a list like that does not exist. Every crime is different so each must be evaluated individually in order to determine if the crime is a bias or hate crime.

    Throughout this essay I will discuss Firstly something I struggle to understand is how homophobia still has an impact and can change the views on the way someone acts towards a friend or loved one. Telling friends and family a sexual preference is extremely unnecessary. Bringing home someone of the same sex should be treated no differently from bringing home the opposite gender. Depending on whether parents had suspected or noticed that their child was perhaps gay, some parents will be completely unaware and when they do find out they can act insensitive and

  • Analysis Of Sex, Lies And Houston, By Frank Bruni

    956 Words  | 4 Pages

    As a gay man, New York Times Op-Ed columnist, Frank Bruni in his article “Sex, Lies and Houston”, argues that the LGBT community, a loosely defined grouping of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgender people, are wrongly and unfairly judged and labeled for their choice of lifestyle and have to face the reality of the fact that they will never be fully accepted into society. He supports his claim with personal experiences and reliable sources, citing cogent facts and statistics and successfully engaging emotional appeals. Bruni’s purpose is to criticize and challenge the mindset of people in order to bring about change where everyone is viewed as equal. He creates a thoughtful tone for those not aware of real life for the LGBT community.

    In 1964, the United States government introduced the term “hate crime” within the 1964 Federal Civil Rights Law. A hate crime, as defined by the United States Department of Justice, is a crime motivated by prejudice or bias against color, religion, race, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, national origin, or disability (U.S. Department of Justice, 2022). It is important to note the history of hate crimes spans back thousands of years across the globe, and the 1960s was when laws in America were passed to punish those who commit these crimes and to prevent these crimes from reoccurring (Cheng, 2013). There has been more awareness drawn to stopping these hate crimes that plague the United States, but even with the laws that protect

  • The Negative Effects Of Hate Crimes

    I believe crimes motivated by hate are more harmful than those motivated by greed. Because of the physical and emotional harm such crimes cause on a victim, which can later develop into a group of victims. Therefore hate crimes create immense division in society, forcing people to pick sides. Furthermore the SC theory states that how societies set norms is based on social power contributing to bias against a set of people. The development of bias in regards to a set of people in society leads to inequalities which furthermore increase the harmful effects of hate crimes.
