WASHINGTON (CNN) -- 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.
The expanded federal hate crimes law now goes to President Obama's desk. Obama has pledged to sign the measure, which was added to a $680 billion defense authorization bill.

re: added to a $680 billion defense authorization bill
Until we have a way to stop the and force every bill to stand or fall on its own nothing’s going to change.
Elections have consequences.

Worse. Existing While Heterosexual ...
So if you walk down the sidewalk holding hands with your wife and a homosexual sees you, does that make it a hate crime?

You forget, the GOP constituents who put them in office will not even give up football to battle Al Sharpton, the new NFL Commissioner.
How in the hell will they battle the gay mafia?

Assault doesn't have to be physical. So much for the 1st Amendment.

I know you are. All of us are disgusted. It is time we realize that the GOP in its current form is nether a champion of limited government nor a protector of individual liberties.

Yes, but in the end it still is about not being a ‘minority’ and the best example of a non-minority is a white male, unless he happens to be a flamer.

which was added to a $680 billion defense authorization bill. There needs to a law against adding spurious bills onto others in order to get them snuck through...each law needs to be a stand alone so that we all know what's being voted on.
