La Cámara de Representantes respalda la ley que incluye LGTBfobia en los crímenes de odio

La Cámara de Representantes de EEUU respaldó este miércoles la modificación de la ley federal de crímenes de odio, que data de 1969, para incluir los crímenes cuyo móvil sea la orientación sexual o identidad de género, lo que permitiría a las autoridades federales involucrarse en aquellos crímenes homófobos o tránsfobos que las autoridades locales decidan no perseguir.

Angie Zapata as fodder for Transgender politics

Just a few comments about the transgender thing. The coverage of the Angie Zapata story shows how the transgender machine has managed (temporarily) to convince the media that the polite term for transsexual is “transgender”. I wouldn’t be so proud if I was one of these activists, however, because they will soon discover how much use the media has for its sideshow attractions once the 15 minutes are up.
