Letter: Opposing a hate crimes law is an act of hate

(Francisco Kjolseth | Tribune file photo) Gay pride flags are recycled for a transgender project at the VOA Youth Resource Center.

Those who oppose or fail to support including LGBT persons within the scope of Utah’s “hate crimes” statute are committing acts of hate. Actively attempting to block protection of the LGBT community from violence arising from bigotry is an even more egregious act of hate.

I challenge anyone to provide a cogent reason why this shameful omission should not be rectified immediately.
