I'm doing a project for school...can anybody give me the latest word on the inclusion of gender and sexual orientation in hate crime legislation? Your help would be much appreciated.

Welcome spiderella_rock. I don't think that we have a thread for that topic that I can refer you to. However, be sure to introduce yourself in The Newbies Lounge. You might want to post your question in The Bust Community Board. We normally don't start new threads unless there is intrest from the community. Something to do with no moderators and bandwith, but I can't explain it better than that. However, welcome again, and good luck with your search!
