he House of Representatives approved Wednesday the addition of sexual orientation to the Federal Hate Crimes Bill. Also known as the Matthew Shepard Act, the addition was passed 249-175 and now goes to the Senate. The House’s debate over the Bill proved to be quite interesting, particularly when one North Carolina Congresswoman referred to the notion that Shepard’s murder was a hate crime as a “hoax.”
