I agree with the legislation that passed to specifically protect minorities. Violence of any kind is not to be tolerated in a civilized society, especially institutions of higher learning. Since LGBTQ+ and women have been traditionally at higher risk of violence, especially sexual violence and discrimination, these Laws at the very least give possible perpetrators a chance to think over the legal repercussions of carrying out their crime. Victims of these types of crimes may take a small comfort in knowing justice will be served.
