As described basically impossible unless the killing was somehow done in a uniquely and gruesomely anti gay way (painting ****** over corpse wont cut it).
Assaulting a stranger on video while verbally abusing him/her for being xxx without a hint of mental disturbance would do the job. A confession of motives would work.
Hate crime can be roughly understood as a plus plus malice "thought crime." It SHOULD be difficult to prove.
