The House is set to take up debate this week on hate-crimes legislation that would, for the first time, add “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” (along with race, color, religion, national origin, gender) to the list of criminal motivations that are subject to additional prosecution. Gay rights groups have long made the hate-crimes bill a top priority, and conservatives have, until now, been largely successful at defeating it.

That may change this time around, given the heavy Democratic dominance in the House and Senate, and a president who has said he would sign the bill.

The American Family Association would like you to know about what other “sexual orientations” are covered — they say House Democrats refused to define the term (I’m not exactly sure why they’d need to), which means that it’s open to any and all interpretations. The AFA’s list is here, but fair warning — this is not for the easily offended or those who blush at the slightest mention of a term like “Telephone Scatalogia.”
