This is
incredibly not true. Gay, Lesbian, Bi-sexual and Transgendered (GLBT) people have been ridiculed and the subject of hate and hate crimes for longer than the marriage "issue" has been around.
In fact, with the recent hate crimes statistics that came out, the percentage of violent hate crimes against any group was highest in the GLBT community...I highly doubt that has to do with the marriage debate and more to do with bigotry and homophobia.
