The U.S. Senate has approved a bill that expands federal hate crime protections to gays, lesbians and transgender people.
Known as the Matthew Shepard Act, the legislation would require federal prosecutors   more...to investigate crimes motivated by sexual orientation like the justice department currently does for crimes that are racially or religiously motivated.

I contacted HRC and asked them to check out our site and if they would send me this video and if I could add it to this Channel. Well, they checked the Channel out, sent me the dvd video via snail mail   more...and gave me permission to upload it here on LiveVideo. Many thanks to HRC Member Services Assistant Dana Campbell. Dana.Campbell@hrc.org. Please check out the new GLBT Hate Crime Victims Photo Album in the "Photo Section". Thanks. Unfortunately, the Matthew Sheppard Act did not pass into law in 2007. But it came the closest to passing ever. There's more hope for 2008!  less

I was compelled by what happened on Sept 11th to make this video for a college finals assignment. Hate Crimes Act helps all people, not just one group of people. Sad world we live in.
