Hate Crimes
LGBT and our allies are marching again on the White House on Wed, which is the day President Obama is suppose to sign into law the new Hate Crimes Bill known as the Matthew Sheppard and James Byrd JR. Hate Crimes Act.
Your proably asking why we are doing this again? We got the new law didn't we? Of course we did but that still dosen't put the end to homophobia in our schools, churches, and work places. The March signifies two things. Remembrance of those that were harmed and killed by hate crimes up to now, and to show that we are not resting until the war against homphobia is won.
Its about damn time in my eyes. I am so glad to see that our LGBT Community is better united and not standing for the Goverment just tossing us bones to keep us quiet. Its the time that we take this opression and not just ask to be considered as American Citizens instead of 2nd Class Citizens.. We are demanding it!
