Outlaw hatred, bigotry

To the editor:
In response to David Farmer’s July 14 column in the Bangor Daily News, stating that Michael Heath announced his group’s goal to make it OK to punish people for being gay, wouldn’t it make more sense to outlaw hatred, discrimination, bigotry? We are not born to hate.

In Heath’s words: “There is conduct that ought to be punished.” True – hatred, discrimination and bigotry.
