The US Senate passed (in a 65 to 33 vote) the federal hate crimes bill! This bill is working to add gender and sexual orientation to the current hate crime legislation. What's even better is that both of Ohio's Senators voted to support it- woah republicans supporting queers. I know some of you have problems with hate crime legislation in general, but hey, this is still a step somewhere in the right direction. Of course, this will probably be some consolation prize so they can pass that god damned amendment. Ya know, don't let the gays get married, but at least now people can't hate them...yay...
