ActOnPrinciples.org Launches; Website provides revolutionary tools to grassroots


actonprinciplesThe website is dedicated to putting The Dallas Principles into action by empowering the grassroots of the LGBT movement to demand full equality. Act On Principles will become only what its users make of it.

 House Passes Defense Authorization Conference Report, Including Hate Crimes Provision

Hate Crimes Protections Closer to President`s Desk than Ever, Senate to Take Last Remaining Step Soon

The Human Rights Campaign,  praised the U.S. House of Representatives today for passing the conference report for the FY 2010 Defense Authorization bill by a vote of 281 to 146, bringing critical hate crimes protections closer to becoming law than ever before.  Earlier this week, the House voted down a last-ditch effort to eliminate the hate crimes provision from the bill, through a procedural effort called a motion to instruct conferees.  The conference report now proceeds to the Senate for its final vote in Congress.  In July, the Senate voted to attach the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act to the Defense Authorization measure and is expected to approve the conference report as early as next week.  President Obama has repeatedly pledged to sign the bill when it reaches his desk.

obama HRC Welcomes Obama at National Dinner

 

"Tonight, President  Obama told LGBT Americans that his commitment to ending discrimination in the military, in the workplace and for loving couples and their families is 'unwavering.'  He made it crystal clear that he is our strongest ally in this fight, that he understands and, in fact, encourages our activism and our voice even when we're impatient with the pace of change.  But these remarks weren't just for us, they were directed to all Americans who share his dream and ours of a country where "no one is denied their basic rights, in which all of us are free to live and love as we see fit."
