it doesn't matter that the guy targeted a gay man.

What matters is that he premeditated a fight, went out and searched for someone to fight, chose an innocent person to fight, and caused them brain damage.

For that, he should have the book thrown at him. That kind of premeditation shows a complete lack of remorse or humanity... the target being gay is irrelevant.

But he attacked him precisely for being gay.

So? What if he attacked the guy because he was dressed emo? What he attacked him for wearing a Bears jersey and he's a Lions fan? What if he attacked him because he drove a Ford? What does that change? The guy went out looking for a fight and found one.
