Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and Sen. Gordon Smith (R-OR) are pushing passage of a hate crimes bill that will include federal protection for cross-dressers, drag queens, transsexuals, and she-males (individuals who maintian both male and female sex organs for bizarre sex acts).
This dangerous pro-homosexual bill is called the Local Law Enforcement Enhancement Act of 2005 (S. 1145).
...The legislation is ostensibly designed to aid local law enforcement officials in prosecuting hate crimes. What it actually does is make "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" into federally-protected categories equal to race or ethnicity under federal law.
Transgender activist groups have lobbied for years to convince homosexual activists that "gender identity" should also be a federally-protected category. If this legislation passes, she-males, drag queens, and every other bizarre sexual behavior will be considered a civil right to be given federal protection.
...In 2003, the Senate Republican Committee also published a detailed analysis of the Kennedy/Smith hate crimes bill--and why it should NOT be passed: "The Kennedy 'Hate Crimes' Bill: An Unwise Proposal."

I wonder how long it will take the Democrats to get around to doing this?
Looks like the Cutty Sark has finally rotted Chappaquiddick Ted's brain.

Cross-dressers are headed for protected victim status. Cross-wearers, however, are routinely vilified, particularly if the cross is worn in school.
The comment you made is a reason why exactly why the Democrats are seeing this country, which, by and large is cuturally and religiously conservative, turning more and more RED.
80% of the counties in the U.S. were red in 2004.
Was killing Mary Jo a hate crime???
Actually, the topic of this thread deals with gays, and the Democrats who are seemingly politically their bedfellows.
Just wait 'till this gets filtered down to the plumbing codes. In five years, I'll bet you dollars to donuts that builders are going to have to start installing Men/Women/Other bathrooms for all new construction, along with all the other ADA add-ons.
Smith is Republican and Mormon. He's the last person who should be pushing this.
Teddy is pushing this because he wishes to try out an "alternative lifestyle"?
True enough!
Oh, not this s**t again! I loathe Gordon Smith - a RINO if there ever was one. Teaming up with TK. Blechh.
I'll ping the list in a bit, thanks for the alert.
I know. I just thought the picture was pretty funny and apropos :-).
Not to worry, the geniuses on the right will just jump in there and get protected status for ex-gays as well. They will then fool themselves into thinking that is some kind of victory.
Maybe he wants to wear a muu-muu to work in the Senate.
They're a lot more comfortable for the full-figured man...
Yes, Teddies at it again... and with Smith along to boot.
Smith IS a RINO of the highest order.
I wonder what the Mormon church would do if they found out about this? Smith is supposedly Mormon.
The pic was funny.
Uh-huh! Aren't we just a little paranoid?
