Not as far as I know.
And quite frankly is isn't a hate crime if a straight person murders a homosexual either, except in 1 specific circumstance: If the straight person commits the crime BECAUSE the homosexual is gay, then it becomes a hate crime. It is not a hate crime, I believe, if a straight person kills someone during a robbery or something like that.

I believe it can be if the pure motive is because that person is heterosexual. There are crimes committed agains straight and gay people everyday that have nothing to do with orientation, but once that is brought into the picture is when it can become a hate crime.

Not yet. If we do make the ammendment for sexual orientation to be added under the hate crimes act then yes it will be. Of course the motive for murder has to be that this person is a heterosexual. But if you're plotting murder, dont... it's not a good plan... just slip some visene into their coffee... that's a lot better revenge

No. There is no trend of straight people being beaten and murdered by gay people for no other reason than they were straight. There is however a trend of straight people murdering gays for no other reason than their sexual orientation.
If you're looking to prove a point that you don't think gays should be protected from hate crimes, why not just say it?

If there is enough evidence that shows that the victim was targeted and murdered specifically because he or she was heterosexual, then the murderer can be charged with a hate crime.

the two killers would desire to land up being sentenced to in spite of the optimum sentence is as a results of the fact the crimes are a similar. Mitigating and worrying components would be considered in determining no remember if that sentence would be ordered. Bias motivation could be an worrying element interior the situation, yet what takes place there won't effect the sentence in Shaniya's case. It actual would not advise that what occurred to Shaniya is any much less tragic. however the clarification hate crimes are dealt with in yet otherwise is as a results of the fact, as chief Justice Rehnquist wrote for an unanimous courtroom in Wisconsin v. Mitchell, " this habit is known to inflict greater advantageous individual and societal harm... bias-prompted crimes are greater in all probability to impression retaliatory crimes, inflict different emotional harms on their victims, and incite community unrest." In different words, the death of the black lady on your hypothetical would not in uncomplicated terms impression those closest to her, even though it would additionally strike worry into different black human beings - even people who've in no way met her - who, purely via distinctive characteristic of being black, are skill destiny objectives and doubtlessly supply upward thrust to race riots. Shaniya's death positively impacts human beings previous her circle of kinfolk, yet by way of quite a few situations, it is not susceptible to reason a panic between different infants or father and mom and probable won't reason those human beings to incite violence against undesirable mothers. that's, in short, like terrorism in that the violent act is meant to deliver a message to an aim marketplace even previous the sufferer herself. fwf43: An attack on a white guy or woman via a black guy or woman because of the sufferer's race is unquestionably a hate crime. in actuality, a black-on-white attack became on the middle of Wisconsin v. Mitchell, the place the courtroom upheld better sentencing.

No (nor is it a hate crime in most jurisdictions for a straight person to kill a gay person).

If the person is selected BECAUSE OF THE GROUP CHARACTERISTIC OF A GROUP TO WHICH HE/SHE BELONGS then yes. If the person happens to be straight, but is murdered incidentally by a gay man who is robbing his house, then no.
