House Favors Expanding Hate Crime Law to Protect Gays.
The Washington Post reports:
Sex offenders who prey on children would be subject to stringent monitoring requirements and face new mandatory penalties under a bill, passed by the House, that was expanded to include protections for gay men and lesbians under federal hate crime law.
Under current law, the federal government assists local and state authorities prosecuting limited types of crimes based on the victim's race, religion or ethnic background.

I think this is a something that we all can support. Violence against group of individuals is simply wrong and should be vigorously prosecuted.
