It may actually be over-reported.

Of course not. Such crime against homosexuals is overwhelmingly local and never makes national media at all. It probably isn't even generally categorized as "homophobic" at any level.

No -- the national media focuses on sensational crime in general, which is why gory murders get more press than shoplifting.
