Judy Shepard lost her son Matthew to an anti-gay hate crime more than 10 years ago. Since then tens of thousands more Americans have been the victims of hate violence. Tell Congress it's time to act.

Hate is hate! If we are going to prosecute some for hate, then prosecute all for hate. Furthermore, people may attack and fight each other for other reasons other than race, etc. We need to become mind readers to determine the reason for the attack. What if the so-called protected group is the initiator?

Hypothetical: two Black males are in a heated argument and one says to the other "N-gg-r, or N-gga, I hate your f'ing ass", then pulls out a gun and shoots the other Black guy. Is this a hate crime?

Two members of different gangs are brawling, each saying, "we hate you bastards!!!". A homicide ensues. Is this a hate crime?

Two chicks fighting over the same dude, one says "Bitch, I hate your guts!!", pulls out a knife and stabs the other girl. She dies. Hate crime?

What about all the people islam kills because they are Christian, Jewish or non-muslim the world over? This far out weighs any other group the world over and yet we hear nothing about it and the very same cult that creates, cultivates and commits these heinous acts are treated with kids gloves, given preferential treatment and catered to by our western governments and left wing fools that are amongst us. This to me is much bigger and important hate crime issue than anything else on the planet

Rather than tell people to turn from the terrible sin of Homosexuality,She is fighting for LGBT rights and in a way is leading them to their deaths.Do you all see what she is doing here?She is doing the same thing she did with Matthew...

She is breeding more freaks!

"Eleven years after Matthew’s death, President Barack Obama signed into law The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Act … this bill makes it a federal crime to assault people based on their gender, sexual orientation and gender identity … Judy Shepard had visited President Obama in the Oval Office and he had made her a promise that this day would come. By signing The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Act into law, President Obama kept his promise to Matthew’s family."
