Bare with me on this because I am confused. Wyoming and Alabama have the least hate crimes? My sister leads an alternative lifestyle and has been to both of these states. Not good choices is you dont live the "straight and narrow" according to them. What does the FBI bbase their statistics on?

I was laughing about that one too.Reported hate crimes with convictions. That's the key word, reported. lol I am sure there are a whole lot more than what is reported. It's may be like the couple in Tennesse that I wrote the article about a lesbian couple being harrassed by their neighbor and he wasn't charged. Not even once. It depends on the police department. I was a little surprised about some of the states statistics too. But, if your think about it. I'm sure in some cities, the police department may not report the crime as an actual hate crime.
