WASHINGTON (CNN) The Senate passed groundbreaking legislation Thursday that would make it a federal crime to assault an individual because of his or her sexual orientation or gender identity. The expanded federal hate crimes law now goes to President Obama, who has pledged to sign it. "Knowing that the president will sign it, unlike his predecessor, has made all the hard work this year to pass it worthwhile," said Judy Shepard, board president of the Matthew Shepard Foundation named for her gay son, who died after a severe beating in 1998.作者: 老郭 時(shí)間: 2009-10-23 16:50
