Why doesn't he pass a law protecting white males like me against crimes? Anyone have the number to ACL-Useless?
This was simply a long-overlooked loophole in the law and Schwarzenegger was perfectly right to close it. FINALLY, it's against the law to assault or murder a homosexual! ;-)
I hate the "gays" and the transgendered! Wanna start a hate group?
I've always felt I was a lesbian trapped in a man's body.
A crime is a crime, what the actor has on his mind is impossible to know or guess.

RINO.
Who'da thunk?
The "moderate side of the Republican Party" has been pushing for Gay Rights Legislation?

Somebody please explain your opposition to this law. If an individual is convicted of a particular crime, this law would simply increase penalties if the crime was motivated solely on the basis of sexuality or gender. The intent of the law is to reduce the incidence of hate-based crimes. The law doesn't grant any additional rights to homosexuals or transgendered freaks.
XXXXXXX thought control police alert XXXXXX
What a crock of cr*p, literally. He is falling for Orwell's world of "thought crimes"! The Founding Father's would be turning in their graves.
Arnold, YOU are making unconstitutional law. People have the right of association and the RIGHT of FREEDOM of Religion, WHICH means they CAN judge people's behavior and deem it immoral. Homosexuality is a choice and immoral and you are forcing it into the schools so that our children will be brainwashed and taught to "accept" the selfish hedonism of a few.
