The new law adds acts of violence against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people to the list of federal hate crimes. Gay-rights activists voiced hope that the Obama administration would advance more issues, including legislation to bar workplace discrimination, allow military service and recognize same-sex marriages. Congress passed the hate crimes protections as an unlikely amendment to this year's Defense Authorization Act. Obama, speaking at an emotional evening reception with supporters of the legislation, said that more than 12,000 hate crimes had been reported the past decade based on sexual orientation. So was the Civil Rights Act of 1965 also tucked in as an amendment to a Defense Authorization bill? I seem to recall back then they actually had the guts to stand up and make an up or down vote on the matter. I don't expect most of the posters here to see the difference.

Oh they see the difference. They have just chosen to be haters for attention. These are people who have no idea what it is like to not have the same rights as the majority of the country. The type of people who want things to stay the same because they are afraid they are somehow losing out in the end when it really has nothing to do with them. They are so the minority but get attention because they say inflammatory things. Most of all, they are sad, unhappy people... no truly happy person would stomp on the achievements of others. It's called leveling because they are so deep down in the dirt. It's blatant, obvious and pathetic.

The legislation adds sexual orientation to federal hate crimes legislation, which means that criminals can get increased jail time if their victim happens to be gay.

I don't get it. Can one of our resident liberals please explain it to me? This hardly seems the way to handle an event such as "OBAMA SIGNS FIRST MAJOR FEDERAL GAY-RIGHTS LAW" now does it?
