Senate approves expansion of hate crimes legislation
http://www.americablog.com/2007/09/senate-approves-expansion-of-hate.html

The big hurdle facing hate crimes legislation in the Senate as been overcome. In a 60-39 vote to proceed to adoption, the Senate approved the Kennedy amendment which adds sexual orientation, gender identity and disability to the existing hate crimes legislation.
