WASHINGTON (AP) - Assaulting people because of their sexual orientation would become a federal hate crime in legislation the House is set to vote on Thursday. The bill would significantly expand the hate crimes law enacted in the days after Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in 1968.

With the expected House passage and eventual approval by the Senate, federal prosecutors will for the first time be able to intervene in cases of violence perpetrated against gays based on their sexual orientation.

On several occasions gangs of queers have entered churches during services to sling brown rubbers throughout the sitting area. This act has been perpetrated in San Fransicko, NY and other venues. We won’t go into the facts that most of them have molested young boys. Homopedophilia is part of the lifestyle no one talks about.

To the left, normal people are the anathema.

We are to be marginalized, because our way of life (heterosexual marraige, children, personal responsibility, faith in God, reaping the benefits of your work, etc) is the font of all ills.

Fortunately, the left has the solution. If we all become pacifistic, third-world, stone-age tech, homosexual athiests who live in plural marraiges, sucking on the teats of government for our livelihood, the Golden Age will arrive.

At least until the waves of Muslims arrive to cut off our heads. But until then we’ll be able to smugly pronounce our superiority.

Listen man, I really don’t want to take this up as some kind of cause or something. Go find a queer and beat him to death if you want to. I’m done with this.

I think it's time we all legally change our race and marriage status records to state that we're all black and very gay.

Smiling takes 6.

[...because my last name ends in “ski”.]

Good question! My last name rhymes with “grease”, so my children need protection from the insults and the inherent risks associated with other kids “jokes.”

[Listen man, I really don’t want to take this up as some kind of cause or something.]

Then why did you post your original statement? And more importantly, why do you assume those opposed to this law are planning on attacking gays tonight?

Since there are already laws against beating/killing anyone, explain how this law would provide MORE protection? During the Columbine massacre, Eric and Dylan violated seventeen (17) local, state and federal laws! So according to you, writing more laws would have stopped them from killing all those people!

This is not about protecting anyone, it is about silencing people and having them denounce their religious beliefs against homosexuality. Just because this law does not exist doesn’t mean there will be “white Christian wilding” events staged to beat up gays! That is about as stupid an argument as you can use!

Plain and simply stated, this is about legally ending religious opposition to homosexuality!

I guess you missed the part where I said I’m done with this.

How does someone prove they’re gay?

They won't have to. If fact, only perceived "gayness" somehow related to a crime will trip the switch, even when nobody involved in the "crime" is homosexual.

It's amazing, isn't it? "Gays" aren't being protected - only "gayness."

No, I saw it. I was just wondering why exactly did you shake up the bee’s nest and then run.
