The USA Senate passed The Matthew Shepard Act, the hate crimes legislation that now covers people due to sexual orientation and gender identity. The sad part is that, even though it's attached to a Defense Bill, it is expected that President Bush will veto it (not pass it into law). It has been known for the longest time that President Bush does not like gay people. When he was the Governor of the state of Texas, he refused to pass a Hate Crimes Law there because it would cover gay people. Kind of scary and sad when you know the head of your own government doesn't like you when he doesn't even know you. Come on November 2008! For those of you not in the USA, that is when our next Presidential Election is.
