“A hate crime is usually defined by state law as one that involves threats, harassment, or physical harm and is motivated by prejudice against someone’s race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation or physical or mental disability.” – USLegal.com
The Knight of the Long Knives continues as the homosexual lobby commits one hate crime after another.
The latest victim of homosexual bigots? New York state senator Ruben Diaz, D-Bronx, the only Democrat who voted against granting same-couples the “right” to marry in New York.
Diaz proudly says he is a “Christian first and then a Democrat,” and added that, “I always vote my conscience.”
Says Diaz, “As a Christian and as the President of the New York Hispanic Clergy Organization, I will continue to defend the teachings of the Bible and oppose homosexual marriage.”
In the debate that crested with Republicans casting the deciding votes to legitimize homosexual “marriage,” Diaz was blunt, direct and clear. “God, not Albany, has settled the definition of marriage a long time ago.”
For taking a principled, religiously-rooted stand for the institution that undergirds all of human civilization, Diaz has become the latest in a long, sad string of victims of the true hatemongers in America, homosexuals activists. Their hate crime against him is motivated by prejudice against his religion, which teaches that God designed marriage exclusively as the union of one man and one woman.
Diaz and his family receiveddeaththreats during the same-sex marriage debate and controversy, and his daughter was threatened with sexual assault by the same people who say you’re not supposed to force your values on anyone. The threats have been reported to the police and the FBI. (Good luck getting any help from them.) He has also received a barrage of hate calls.

Unfortunately, the media will only report on death threats to progressive/socialist dems…seeing Diaz isn’t one, they do not report one word. I did find this from June.
Finally, Erica Diaz (granddaughter of “Moron Of The Week” inductee Sen. Ruben Diaz), has spoken out about his grandpa’s lovely work against the LGBT Community.

The Advocate reports:
Erica Diaz, the lesbian granddaughter of New York state senator Ruben Diaz Sr., speaks for the first time about the personal pain caused by her grandfather, “Albany’s most outspoken marriage equality opponent.”
Diaz, 22, spoke about her feelings to the New York Post. She described an inability to stay silent as her grandfather, a Bronx Democrat, amplified his attacks against the marriage equality bill that could see a vote in the Republican-controlled senate in the next two weeks.
“When I was younger, marriage equality was not an issue for me,” said Erica, who was discharged from the Navy under the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. “But now, as my grandfather ceaselessly and callously comments on the issue, each and every word stings, since I live with my girlfriend of 2½ years, Naomi Torres, and our two sons, Jared and Jeremiah Munoz.”
Last month, Erica attended a rally against marriage equality hosted by her grandfather, in order to force him to face her. The senator introduced his granddaughter and told the crowd of some 2,500 people, including National Organization for Marriage president Brian Brown, that he loved her.
However, Erica said to the Post, “You cannot tell someone that you love them and stay silent when people call for their death. ‘Love’ is empty when you say someone’s life isn’t natural.”
“He could quietly vote ‘no’ if that’s what he believes is right,” she continued. “But I want him to know that every word he utters hurts his own blood.”
Last Friday, Bronx advocates announced that Erica would help them lead a march and rally on August 7 in direct response to the event organized by her grandfather on May 15. The action will call attention not only to marriage equality, which may have received a vote by then, but also to problems including youth homelessness and the HIV epidemic that disproportionately challenge the Bronx LGBT community.
Erica has decided to speak out as the New York State Catholic Conference warned that the state senator, a Pentecostal minister and ally in their fight against marriage equality, has been subjected to “hate speech” and “death threats” for his beliefs. Specifically, Catholic Conference executive director Richard Barnes posted a Facebook note on Friday that took aim at an upcoming gay erotica contest mocking Diaz.
“And this is all known to the press and in the halls of the Capitol. So where is the outrage in the media?” wrote Barnes. “Where is the cry for tolerance and justice for Rev. Diaz against these hate purveyors? The answer, sadly, is that there is no outcry. Are they saving it for after something truly awful happens to this good man? Until the hate that is being incited boils over into violent behavior?”
