    This is just disgusting. How the hell can this kind of things happen? It is just taking it too far. I don't care whatever happen, politics must not interfere with something like the human rights and victim rights.

    What the heck would the original bill not have protection for immigrants, Native Americans, and LGBT people anyways? I don't even see how they could possibly word a bill excluding LGBT rape, straight men and women can be raped by people of the same sex as well.

    and they say they are not fighting a war against women...

    Next they are going to say that ronald reagen killed osama bin laden, and that abrahamn lincoln shot hitler.

    I don't get it... are they saying that rape is bad, unless it happens to queers, Native Americans, and immigrants?

    And because of that, they're not going to help women who seriously need it, until these groups no longer count as people?

    What the fuck is wrong with these people!?

    I just want to remind those of you who think the economy is more important than hatred when you say that you're going to vote for Romney and Republican candidates for Congress, that this is what you're voting for. And you don't have a right to shove it down our throats.
