The House this afternoon passed an expanded hate crimes bill that would protect gay victims, and its chief sponsor in the Senate called for prompt final action. The measure passed 249-175 over the objections of conservatives, the Associated Press reports.

Not as carefully defined as you think. It leaves the door open to the coverage of the law:
"or is a violation of the State, local, or tribal hate crime laws".
As I have detailed.
I am not obeying any unconstitutional application of this law. The commies have gone too far now. I will go to prision before allowing Leftists to dictate my speech and my religion.
I too am prepared to be lined up against the wall....
Everyone surprised by this raise your hand. I knew this would happen as soon as the Democrats got a majority. Thank the idiot voters.
Nope. It only applies to certain people.
Only if the Pastor wants to stay out of prison. No they can’t,

All but praise for obama.
You are dreaming. And it is going to get worse.
This is a bipartisan bill. I can’t believe it. I admit I just looked at Pennsylvania (my state) and I always look at North Carolina. Heath Shuler should just become a Republican. He always votes with us. I am surprised he is a Democrat. If he runs for Senate, he might as well do it as a Republican.
Discipler,
I too am a member of the church of Christ. I am praying that the Lord use you in a mighty way to reveal His Spirit, His love, and His salvation to the world. Stay strong, brother.
“Hate crimes”. Translation:”Speech crimes” or “Thought crimes”
I also am a member of the church of Christ. The time sure appears to be coming that all members, not just preachers, may be faced with the choice whether to obey God or man. Keep the faith, brother.
Thank you, Brother.
I’m glad to hear from you.
Thank you. And God bless and use you for His glory. Discipler
I hope so...
Oh you guys are so hysterical....c’mon, its just a law to protect gays from discrimination. Not that big a deal, and it’s about time. I dont know what all the fuss is about. Why should we care about what two consenting adults do in their own bedroom, for crying out loud? To me, perversion is better defined in the church itself, prophesing that Love is all...but is only reserved for those members of the social norm. Anyone different gets the shaft. Homosexuality is just Mother Natures form of birth control. What a world it would be if everyone was hetero and all pregnancies came to term. You think it’s bad now....
