Yes, Ravi invaded his privacy but he doesn't hate gays.

I think his attitude toward gays is unknown, but a hate-crime is about motivation; it's more accurately called a bias-crime. Hate-crime gives the impression of physical assault.

He didn't kill the guy either, He wasn't charged in the death.

I can see this going to the Supreme Court and getting a ruling on the constitutionality of hate crimes The issue has gone before the Supreme Court several times.

There are two notable decisions: R.A.V. vs City of St Paul (1992), and Wisconsin vs Mitchell (1993).

Challenges based on Constitution Fifth Amendment "due process" clause: In this case, the crime was committed by a student at a university campus. There are laws that cover the responsibility of the institution to inform students of policy. Student Right to Know and Campus Security Act (1990); Campus Hate Crimes Right to Know Act (1997).
