The House voted overwhelmingly to expand federal definition of hate crimes to include crimes committed because of the victim’s sexual orientation.

This vote by the House makes LGBTQI people more equal under the law, and we wholly support it.
The scoreboard has not yet been updated to reflect points earned and lost.
