such as "No Tears For Queers and "Fags Don't Go To Heaven. Multiple times before this brutal murder took place Congress silently condoned this behavior by not passing a hate crime bill that would have let the FBI and other federal agencies more thoroughly investigate the murder. The strong hate mentality towards and homosexuals and deadly homophobia are supported both outwardly and discreetly by the hypocrisy we live in.

Homosexuals played a very overlooked role in the Nazi holocaust. The acceptance of homosexuals has varied throughout Germany's history. Homosexual behavior was illegal for hundreds of years before in Germany. Although in the liberal climate of the Weimar Republic homosexuality was tolerated and open. Works advocating homosexuality were published and there were gay bars in every major city. Professor Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute of Sexual Research was vandalized, the photo collection and library was destroyed only four days before Hirschfeld's book advocating homosexuality was burned (homosexuals 52). Almost immediately when Hitler came

There are multiple pro-gay and anti-gay officials in our midst. James Hormel for example is an openly gay ambassador of Luxembourg. Bob Smith, U.S. Senator was not going to have a gay official appointed and even vowed "I'll filibuster until I drop..." though obviously it didn't work. Bob Smith is considered homophobic which is ironic because a new study recently released by the APA (American Psychologist Association) "holds that homophobia-the fear, anxiety, anger, discomfort, and aversion that some ostensibly heterosexual people hold for gay individuals is the result of repressed homosexual urges that the person is unaware of or denies." Also, Hitler and the Nazi party were considered homophobic though there were top gay officials. Bill Clinton, the current president of the United States of America, is pro-gay which is easily identified through his bills and even the nomination of James Hormel. Clinton urged congress to expand federal hate crime laws to include crimes based on sexual orientation. This hate crime law would be expanded so the Justice Department could prosecute crimes based on sexual orientation or disability. The current statue now only covers crimes based on race, color, religion, or national origin. Clinton even issued an appeal for greater acceptance of gay people; he also talked about the fact that it's wrong to refuse normal life based on attitudes. The President also talked about diversity and our psyche, "Where you always got always get to think a little better of yourself because you've got someone you can dehumanize" and on diversity, "Our diversity is godsend for us.... The number one security threat to that is the persistence, even primitive hatreds."
