Tolerance Week Really Made Changes

Today the House of Reps met and officially voted to make assaulting someone because of their sexual orientation a federal crime, adding it to the list of hate crimes. Finally at least this right of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community is backed by federal law. Intolerance of other people simply because they are different from what is widely considered as 'normal' by the majority of the United States needs to end.

The San Fransisco bay area is a widely tolerant area that is accepting of all types of cultures and lifestyles, so the intolerance isn't so much seen here, but all over the country this outdated hate based on nothing but insecurity with different ways of life. Finally real steps are being made in the white house towards nationwide tolerance.
