Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), the only openly lesbian Member of Congress, is predicting passage of hate crimes legislation and repeal of DOMA (the Defense of Marriage Act) in the next Congress regardless of who is elected President. She told The Washington Blade, the newspaper in the nation's capital city appealing to homosexuals, that action on those two measures will be her top priority in 2009.
The Republican leadership managed to tie up the hate crimes bill last year and this year as well. It would make discrimination against homosexuals a federal crime. Representative Barney Frank (D-MA) had problems with his own caucus on the question of whether or not transgender individuals should be included in the legislation.
