Federal Hate Crimes bill passes the Senate!

Oct 22, 2009 21:07

Wow! The Senate passed groundbreaking legislation Thursday that would make it a federal crime to assault an individual because of his or her sexual orientation or gender identity. First Federal Legislation protecting LGBT Americans! And, YES, it DID include gender identity. Now it is on President Obama's desk to be signed and made into law.

I feel a little bit more like an American this evening, knowing that I have been included. A little bit. For a change.

This is an historic day!
