He has no heart for anyone. Over 700,000 people died because of him. Will it make any difference if anyone kidnaps his daughters and threaten him that they would hurt their daughters. I wonder if he would protect his daughters or not? If he does care, I would be in shock for sure.

What's wrong with you? Bad bill? You're gotta to be kidding me! I don't think you really understand what it is happening to GBLT community lately.

You really think that never happened like that before? New law will help reduce hate crimes against GBLT people.

All people should be protected equally, and punished equally, by the current laws. We should NOT have separate laws for each group of people.
That's what the government tried to do that in the very beginning. It failed. Why? People separated themselves into minorities and hate each other because they are different. Many people don't realize that they are all same people. That's why the government need to set up more and more laws to keep it under control. People will always be so stubborn and stuck with their own ways. Educated people like the government have to take care of dumb people.

That is very easy of you to say that. Obvious, you still don't understand it at all.
