152. Those are seriously underreported numbers too. There are many jurisdictions who don't take down the

information. Do small towns in south and the midwest where people believe being gay is just a sinful act--do we really think they investigate LGBT hate crimes? If you were gay bashed in a rural town would you tell the cops what happened? Would they report it if you did?

The numbers are way way off. I'd estimate the ratio of unreported assaults to the # of gay people is similar to unreported rapes and the # of women.
