......Against intolerance. Salem, Oregon. Legislatures just passed the law of anti-discrimination of sexual orientation. And the Matthew Shepard Bill that inacts hate crimes against the GLBT community is in congress. Our civil and Human rights are slowly coming to the forefront. But, it's not over. There are 33 states that need to enact similar laws. Help stop the hate and discrimination and support such bills in your state. Thank you.

Was this passed today? Is a hate crime a violent crime or stating that you disagree with someone's lifestyle? Just wondering...
