HATE CRIME,Rep.Virginia Foxx disrespects Matthew Shepard

The Issue

Matthew Shepard, the young gay man that was invited by 2 straight men (pretending to be gay) to leave a bar with them. They pistol whipped him and beat him to near death and lashed him to a barbed wire fence. A passer by found him 18 hours later, like a scarecrow, on the fence.  He died at the hospital.
On April 29th she stood on the floor of the House and told others that Matthew Shepard was the name of the 'Hate Crimes Bill', but why? He wasn't even a victim of a hate crime, it was all a "HOAX".  Has this woman totally lost her mind, or is she hoping that others have forgotten this brutal crime against a man for his sexuality?  Is she a Bigot? Does she hate GLBT more than we can imagine? Why do you think she is still a Rep.? Should she be? I don't think so, she isn't representing her entire state. You tube video attached to show her 'representing' her state. Shame on you Rep. Foxx!

CJ StanleyPetition StarterI would rather be judged for loving, than to be judged for hating. You can never touch someone so lightly, that you never leave a trace. And some other things! ;~)
