House backs hate crime measure protecting gays

By Joanne Kenen1

The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday unexpectedly backed a measure to expand federal hate crime protection to gay people, a measure that House conservatives had blocked for years.

The Senate has passed similar legislation, which also expanded protections for the disabled, several times in recent years but House conservatives had argued that these cases should be dealt with on a local or state level without additional federal intervention.

Jeb Bradley voted againt the bill. He's certainly NOT the moderate he pretended to be when running for office.
