It depends on the community. If you are talking about the community at large- and its small, they might have to be talked into action. The normal action any law officials would take if a house was vandlized, might take alot of prompting. Some state Attorney Generals Offices can Help. Often even the Gay community could back off fron ralling to your aid. I have seen a mixture of both by both comunities. If it seems you are not at fault some rallying could happen. But it is important you let people know what happened.

Yes. I'm transsexual, and i've been bashed six times. I live in a rather rough area. So the police can't be bothered. But the last time was rather interesting. Cops were pretty nasty. Six days later, I went to the first transgender job fair in the nation. And, you guessed it, the cops talked to me about signing up. I live in San Francisco. And i'd make a lousy cop. It'd be easy to slap the cuffs on them, though, cause they'd be laughing so hard.

Dignity? Is there dignity in a hate crime? Do you mean to ask this question to the perpatrator or the victims?

Most American law enforcement officers couldn't give a damn about hate crimes perpetrated on LGBT folks.
