Lets beat a few ex-gays for a change

Some ex-gays are coming out of the closet against gays being included in a national hate crimes bill. Since the hate crimes bill is to protect gays from religious zelots (like the ex-gays) who think its ok to beat people just because they are different. Allowing the religious right input on hate crimes legislation is like letting the wolf guard the hen house. Why not let the KKK have input on civil rights legislation?
