August 23, 2008 by James Hipps · Leave a Comment
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is challenging his Republican rival, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), to end his opposition to a federal hate crimes bill (HR 254) following reports of a recent surge in anti-gay and anti-transgender hate crimes.
Some of you may remember Larry Craig, McCain’s outted buddy who opposed the measure to protect citizens.
