It is named after Matthew Shepard, a gay college student tortured and killed in 1998, and James Byrd Jr., a man who was chained to a pickup truck and dragged to his death the same year for being black. This anti-hate legislation - specifically addressing hate crimes targeted towards the GLBT population - has been introduced 5 times since April 2001. It has failed in every attempt. President Bush was adamantly opposed to this bill and it is clear he would veto any legislation of this nature. With President Obama's support the legislation was passed and signed. It is a major victory for civil rights. The next item on the agenda will be getting rid of "Don't Ask Don't Tell". After that, there will be legislation regarding discrimination in employment for the GLBT community, then the hardest task of all, getting rid of the "Defense of Marriage Act". Top left: First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, a champion of the American Civil Rights Movement and chairperson of the committee that drafted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Top Right: Councilman Harvey Milk of San Francisco, who efforts led to the passage of a civil rights bill that outlawed discrimination based on sexual orientation. The ordinance was called the "most stringent and encompassing in the nation". Milk, the City's first openly gay councilperson, was assassinated November 27, 1978. Lower Left: Matthew Shepard (December 1, 1976 – October 12, 1998) was a student at the University of Wyoming who was tortured and murdered near Laramie, Wyoming in 1998. He died at Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado, on October 12 from severe head injuries. During the trial, witnesses stated that Shepard was targeted because he was gay. Shepard's murder brought national, as well as international, attention to the issue of hate crime legislation at the state and federal levels.

See the thing is, Augustine is Canadian, and he's here under a work visa. While DoMA is in effect, I am not allowed to sponsor him for a visa myself. In fact, under DoMA, our getting married -- even here in Massachusetts -- would invalidate his visa, sending him straight back to Canada. In three years when this visa expires, there is a very real possibility that I will have to make a very difficult choice: my partner or my country. So...it's not about religion. It's not about tradition. It's about making sure that each of America's citizens are treated equally under the law.
