An important note to regular readers: The post, 'National Hate Crimes, Short Legislative History', has been updated / edited. A typo has been fixed whereby "disability" replaced "sexual orientation". I've also added information on votes that were held in 2004, which were not included before, along with associated references. References to the Violence Against Women act have been included. A link to NGLTF's timeline has been included. Although it is incidental to the text, I expect to change the information on Utah, after some more research including whether anything has ever been successfully prosecuted under the law (let alone anything LGBT related), as the state does have a so-called 'bias crime' statute, although it has been viewed as constructed to exclude gays by some.
Part Two is almost ready.
