Today, we advanced as a country and as human beings. Despite stiff opposition from the party of "No", the GOP (35 Republican Senators voted against it), President Obama signed into law a major expansion of the Hate Crimes act, to protect some of the most vulnerable and marginalized members in our society, LGBT people. Matthew Shepard's parents were on hand to witness this historic event. This new law goes to the heart of the promise of this country, "with liberty and justice" for all. It was a good day for America.
