"Here's where we are if the Democrats win the presidency, the House and a few more Senate seats: we will get a transgender-inclusive hate crimes bill through in the first couple months," said the openly gay Newton Democrat to applause from a crowd of about 40 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Boston.
