In May, the passage of the bill came after heated debate on the House floor, with opponents of the legislation parroting a massive disinformation campaign being waged by anti-gay activist groups like Focus on the Family, Family Research Council and the Traditional Values Coalition in their efforts to defeat the bill.

The Family Research Council, for example, is deceptively portraying The Matthew Shepard Act as a "thought crimes" bill, falsely asserting that the legislation could impinge on the First Amendment by penalising people for voicing non-violent anti-gay beliefs.
