Federal hates crimes law already covers race, religion and national origin. It does not cover gender, disability or sexual orientation. It should cover everyone. Whether or not you agree about the need for, or wisdom of, hate crimes law, if we're going to have a law on the books - and we already do (and ironically, the existing federal hate crimes law already covers Christian conservatives, the very people who most object to adding anyone else to it) - then the law ought to cover everyone.
