Why Can't We Be Friends?

In the new hate crime stats released by the FBI, it turns out at2 percent of hate crimes based on sexual orientation were committed against heterosexuals.

What?

Okay, okay. The other 98 percent were perpetuated against gays, lesbians and bisexuals -- no mention of transgenders here. And, let's be honest, can straight people really be victims of sexual-orientation based hate crimes?

Maybe when legal gay marriage ruins their lives.

Here are the quick stats from the FBI.
