The hate crimes amendment would expand existing federal hate crime program to add sexual orientation, gender, gender identity and disability to federal hate crime laws. It would give grants to the states to help prosecute such crimes.

I had better get this off my chest now.

Against nature, queer, fag, abomination!

Unreal. We poor, unfortunate white, straight, able-bodied males are just going to be regular old, vanilla, run of the mill murder victims. Everybody else is going to be a HATE CRIME murder victim.

Wouldn't that make us a MORE attractive target for a perp?

What happened to equal protection under the law? Why are gays afforded more protection than little old ladies? This is unconstitutional on many fronts, but everyone gives it a free pass because it shows "we care". Blaahhh.
