see you cannot back up far enough to be on equal ground with me .
the bill says sexual orientation ,in context with Homosexuals ,lesbians and transgendered.
try reading what is there and stop trying to make it something it is not .
I know you would like it to be different LOL but this bill was designed specifically to cover the sub cultures that were mentioned .

WRONG. I have read the bill, and it states SEXUAL ORIENTATION. Last time I checked, that includes heterosexual, homosexual, & bisexuals. Unless you're not one of those, you're covered as well.

Ialso read the bill and did so in the context of its purpose .
maybe you should try that ?
until then show me any other legislation that supports the majority in a protection bill and you may convince me that you are right , otherwise I think the nature of the bill, its title and context all point to this being a protection from someone to someone else and is not majority inclusive legisaltion .

Ummm how about the previous hate crimes bill which covered religion. That would be the majority of Americans no matter how you slice it.
? If you say the sexual orientation is a secret plot to only cover gays, then who does gender cover? Women? Men? Neither?
Face it, you're just worried that all you gay-bashing is going to land you in prison.

I don't gay bash ,I have no fear of going to jail .
and your intimation that I do should be more of a worry for you legally if in fact the bill is as you say.
good job with the threat though , I have copied it to my next letter to the congressmen and women who represent this country.
no wonder you guys have lost in every state that has put the initiative on the ballot.
but just to show you I have no hard feelings, I will help you with a little bit of commentary on the hate crimes bill of 2009 .
Officially Preferred Victims: Liberty University law professor Shawn Akers writes that if H.R. 1913, the federal “Hate Crimes” bill, becomes law,“local and state law enforcement would have the incentive of federal funds to prosecute cases involving … preferred victims to the exclusion and neglect of less valuable victims.” Membership in the “preferred” category is “based not on immutable characteristics but on the class member’s choice of sexual conduct … and subjective gender self-identity.”

Oh poor baby, welcome to my world! Straight white men have been a "preferred" group since the founding of this country. Now maybe you'll know how it feels to worry if you will get equal treatment under the law. Keep looking over your shoulder, the gays are gonna get you....

So we'll take our issues through the legislatures where possible and to the courts when necessary.

Marriage laws were written centuries ago, and they had nothing to do with you. Marriage is defined as a contract between a man, and a woman, not 2 men, or 2 women.

Blah, blah, blah. Marriage laws also used to state that you had to be of the same race to get married. Things change.
