Senator Wyden links rhetoric with gay hate crimes in marriage equality debate

Oregon Senator Ron Wyden says in debate on the Respect for Marriage Act that the far right was targeting gay and trans Americans in an effort to scare everybody else into taking away their rights, ratcheting up anti gay rhetoric spills out into the real world across the country as Colorado Springs was still mourning the lives lost in a mass shooting at a gay nightclub a few days before Thanksgiving where if not for the actions of a few brave individuals, including a military veteran, the death toll would have been much higher, so passing the bill was not going to end the hateful rhetoric and violence for good, but to vote that hate was wrong, to stand up and defend the vulnerable that will protect the individual rights of all Americans from a far right Supreme Court majority determined to turn the clock back by decades.
