Federal Hate Crimes Bill Moves to House
H.R. 1913 was introduced in the Senate, and is expected to be approved by the House on Wednesday over criticism that it violates the Free Speech rights of Christians who preach against homosexuality. The Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act includes "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" among the list of bias-motivated offenses.
President Obama publicized his support in a statement on Tuesday.
