From my friend Adrea at the Syracuse University LGBT Resource Center who is spreading the word:You've got to watch this video. Thousands of people are attacked every year because of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity, and there's still no federal hate crimes law to protect them. This video is the most powerful statement I've seen on hate crimes, and I couldn't help but pass it on. I think you'll see why.
There's a bill in the Senate right now that would address this heartbreaking problem, and we only have a few weeks until the vote. It would mean a lot to me if you could take a minute to watch the video and write your Senators, and then pass this along to five friends. I really believe none of us can sit this one out.
