WASHINGTON, Oct. 8 /Christian Newswire/ -- The House of Representatives will vote today on the Department of Defense Authorization Bill, which funds our national defense and our troops in a time of war. An unrelated provision was added to the bill that would federally criminalize certain thoughts.
The "hate crimes" provision would make "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" federally protected classes. A person accused of "prejudice based on the actual or perceived ... sexual orientation" or "gender identity" of a victim would face more severe penalties than a person accused of murdering their grandmother. This creates a class system of victims with preferences for those who choose to engage in unnatural sex acts.
