That's actually the part of this that I have a problem with. If I get savagely beaten by a roving gang of street thugs they get one set of rules applied.
If it turns out that roving street gang were bunch of homosexuals intent on beating up straight people they have a different set of rules applied.
Assuming my injuries are the same in both scenarios, why the eff would one instance warrant a different sentence than the other?
