When I read the following from your first link, I wondered what state hate crime laws are in other states:

The federal hate crimes charge comes as Idaho laws wouldn’t permit such a charge in this case. Despite the animosity and hate directed at the LGBTQ+ community, no hate crime charges were filed against Lehigh because the state’s malicious harassment law only considers “race, color, religion, ancestry, or national origin” as being protected by the statute.

State-by-State:
