"Concerned Women" against hate crimes laws: classifies sex w/ animals & corpses as "orientation" [View All]

And I will save those here who don't feel we need to include GLBT in hate crime legislation some time. Those interested can read their comments here, so they don't need to repeat the arguments here. :hi:

Kings and Queens:
A "Sexual Orientation" Primer
By Staff

With the introduction of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2007 (ENDA) and the most recent incarnation of "hate crimes" legislation now coming before Members of Congress, it's time to remind everyone that these two bills constitute a shell game in which the liberals always win and you ultimately lose your freedom of speech.

ENDA loosely defines "sexual orientation" as "homosexuality, heterosexuality, or bisexuality," and also includes "gender identity," defined as "the gender-related identity, appearance, or mannerisms or other gender-related characteristics of an individual, with or without regard to the individual's designated sex at birth."

H.R. 1592, the "hate crimes" bill just passed by the House, defines "gender identity" vaguely as "actual or perceived gender-related characteristics." The bill, however, does not offer a definition for "sexual orientation." In one ironic way, that makes it the more honest of the two bills. While ENDA covers three "sexual orientations," 23 "sexual orientations" actually exist.

Would they be covered under ENDA and "hate crimes" legislation? Ostensibly, yes. The left has been trying to pass ENDA and "hate crimes" legislation for years, but only in recent response to the growing political clout of the transgender movement has "gender identity" been added to these bills - a term that would cover #22 in the list below, and by extension #4, #6, #7 and #8.

WARNING: Some of the descriptions in the list below may be offensive to readers' sensibilities.
