The FBI reports hate crime statistics by victim class or bias motivation (e.g. race, religion, sexual orientation or disability).  However, the FBI reports only the race, if known, of the offenders in these hate crimes.  It does not report the religion, sexual orientation, or disability status of the offenders.  Thus a conclusion that all offenders in sexual-orientation hate crimes are heterosexual, or all victims are homosexual, is faulty; in addition, the methodology does not attempt to measure gay-on-gay violence, or violence against homosexuals in general.  In 2005, most of the reported incidents which included bias based on sexual-orientation were aggravated assault, simple assault, intimidation, or destruction/damage/vandalism.<ref>Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Reporting Program, Hate Crime Statistics 2005: Table 4, Offense Type by Bias Motivation, 2005[http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/hc2005/abouthc.htm]</ref>  In 2004, there were 5 hate crime murders in the US, one of which was anti-homosexual.  <ref>U.S. Department of Justice — Federal Bureau of Investigation, [http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/hc2004/tables/HateCrime2004.pdf Uniform Crime Reports], Offense Type by Bias Motivation, 2004 Table 4. </ref><ref>Of the 5 hate crime murders in the US in 2004, two were anti-white, one anti-black, one anti-Atheism/Agnosticism, and one anti-homosexual.</ref>  In 2005, the most recent year for which statistics are available, there were 6 hate crime murders, none of which was anti-homosexual. <ref>U.S. Department of Justice — Federal Bureau of Investigation, [http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/hc2005/table4.htm Uniform Crime Reports], Offense Type by Bias Motivation, 2005 Table 4. </ref><ref>Of the 6 hate crime murders in the US in 2004, one was anti-white, two were anti-black,two were anti-Hispanic, and one was anti-Other Ethnicity/National Origin.</ref>
