Hate Crimes Against Gays (Crt205)

The valuable information I have read and retained from all of the articles I read has made me stop and think about the world around us. The surprising thing is how much society has not changed.

They do not have the same rights as some men and other races. The federal government needs to amend its laws and make it to where it protects everyone equally. When it comes
