I would hope the increased penalties applied both ways. The law merely permits federal prosecution of anyone who "willingly injures, intimidates or interferes, or attempts to do so, by force because of the person's race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability" and doesn't include any loaded majority/minority language, as far as I can tell.

Wow wow, not a "No Gays" policy. Just a "Probably not-Gays" policy.

Thing has always been a whipping boy when it comes to making people look tough.

I think it's worth noting that in Thing (2nd series) #8 -- the issue in which Flatman stomps our titular hero in a game of poker -- the Thing battles a villain called Bi-Beast.
