Hate Crime Bill. Will it pass?

In Washington a bipartisan group of members of congress on Tuesday reportedly introduced federal hate crimes legislation in the US House of Rep that include protections for Americans based on sexual orientation and gender identity. If passed, the legislation would make violent crime prosecutable as hate crimes when the victim is targeted because of his or her gender, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity. Quite the same like the one passed by the House last year but was blocked by the Senate. Let's hope it passes this time.
