Montana man sent to prison for LGBTQ hate crime

A southwestern Montana man has been sentenced to 18 years in federal prison after being convicted of a hate crime and firearms charges for threatening a woman with violent, homophobic slurs and shooting at her house with an assault rifle as part of a self-described "mission" to rid a small town of its LGBTQ community.
