Abstract:

The article discusses issues relevant to hate crimes legislative bills in the United States focusing on anti-gay, anti-transgender bias that stalled federal hate crimes legislation. Apparently, the law has not been enacted because of the way people feel about gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans. There is great opposition to hate crimes legislation on the political right, and the organizations that most ardently oppose the federal hate crimes legislation happen to be those that also oppose any form of protection for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender people, or for same-sex couples.
