Hi,

Did you know that hate crimes against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people are on the rise?

I just watched a really powerful video that I think you should see – Judy Shepard's story of losing her son to hate violence and fighting for a federal hate crimes bill to give LGBT Americans the protections they need and deserve and to honor his memory. I hope you'll watch it and then send a message to your lawmakers to pass that bill, which is up for a vote in the coming days.

Congress is taking action on the bill now – but right-wing lawmakers are trying to derail it. There's no time to waste. We can't let the forces of discrimination prevail on this one.

Judy Shepard speaks with strength and eloquence. I hope her words will move you to send a strong message to your representative. Click the link to watch and then take action.

Thank you.

I'll write; it won't have any effect, but I'll write.

*still bitter about the re-election of "representative"*

Honey, tell me about it - I live in the South. We'll be the last to recognize full civil rights for LGBT, I guarantee.

Bet? (UTAH. Fr srs.)

The person whose state first recognises same-sex civil unions has to write the other porn for the pairing of their choice?

Okay, you're on! Just remember I live in Georgia, where they're still not really over the Civil War yet.

You may even have a shot!

I haven't written anything in so long, I should get on that.
