The Hate Crime law, HR-1913, will make 30 sexual orientations federally-protected. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) has published 30 such sexual orientations that, because of Congress’s refusal to define "sexual orientation," will be protected under this legislation. These 30 orientations are listed in the APA’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), which is used by physicians, psychologists, social workers, nurses, and psychiatrists throughout the U.S. It is considered the dictionary of mental disorders. Those 30 sexual orientations include behaviors that are felonies or misdemeanors in most states.
Among those sexual orientations being protected by HR-1913 are these:
Apotemnophilia – sexual arousal associated with the stump(s) of an Amputee
Asphyxophilia – sexual gratification derived from activities that involve oxygen deprivation through hanging, strangulation, or other means
Autogynephilia – the sexual arousal of a man by his own perception of himself as a woman or dressed as a woman
Bisexual – the capacity to feel erotic attraction toward, or to engage in sexual interaction with, both males and females
Coprophilia – sexual arousal associated with feces
Exhibitionism – the act of exposing one’s genitals to an unwilling observer to obtain sexual gratification
Fetishism/Sexual Fetishism – obtaining sexual excitement primarily or exclusively from an inanimate object or a particular part of the body
Frotteurism – approaching an unknown woman from the rear and pressing or rubbing the penis against her buttocks
Heterosexuality – the universal norm of sexuality with those of the opposite sex
Homosexual/Gay/Lesbian – people who form sexual relationships primarily or exclusively with members of their own gender
Gender Identity Disorder – a strong and persistent cross-gender identification, which is the desire to be, or the insistence that one is, or the other sex, "along with" persistent discomfort about one’s assigned sex or a sense of the inappropriateness in the gender role of that sex
Gerontosexuality – distinct preference for sexual relationships primarily or exclusively with an elderly partner
Incest – sex with a sibling or parent
Kleptophilia – obtaining sexual excitement from stealing
Klismaphilia – erotic pleasure derived from enemas
Necrophilia – sexual arousal and/or activity with a corpse
Partialism – A fetish in which a person is sexually attracted to a specific body part exclusive of the person
Pedophilia – Sexual activity with a prepubescent child (generally age 13 years or younger). The individual with pedophilia must be age 16 years or older and at least 5 years older than the child. For individuals in late adolescence with pedophilia, no precise age difference is specified, and clinical judgment must be used; both the sexual maturity of the child and the age difference must be taken into account; the adult may be sexually attracted to opposite sex, same sex, or prefer either
Prostitution – the act or practice of offering sexual stimulation or intercourse for money
Sexual Masochism – obtaining sexual gratification by being subjected to pain or humiliation
Sexual Sadism – the intentional infliction of pain or humiliation on another person in order to achieve sexual excitement
Telephone Scatalogia – sexual arousal associated with making or receiving obscene phone calls
Toucherism – characterized by a strong desire to touch the breast or genitals of an unknown woman without her consent; often occurs in conjunction with other paraphilia
Transgenderism – an umbrella term referring to and/or covering transvestitism, drag queen/king, and transsexualism
Transsexual – a person whose gender identity is different from his or her anatomical gender
Transvestite – a person who is sexually stimulated or gratified by wearing the clothes of the other gender
Transvestic Fetishism – intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving cross-dressing
Urophilia – sexual arousal associated with urine
Voyeurism – obtaining sexual arousal by observing people without their consent when they are undressed or engaged in sexual activity
Zoophilia/Bestiality – engaging in sexual activity with animals
To protect a "sexual orientation" under H.R. 1913 – while leaving that term undefined — is to protect this whole range of bizarre sexual behaviors. It is to normalize by federal law what are still considered to be mental disorders (paraphilias) by the American Psychiatric Association.
How about the "pedophilia" provision.
You OK with that?

Hate crime legislation does nothing to make the sexual activities lawful or unlawful. Such legislation provides for an enhanced sentence if someone commits a crime against some people because of their sexual orientation, but does not legalize any sort of sexual activity. So, your questions and comments make no sennse to me.

I didn’t realize that anyone committed crimes out of love for their victim.
September 1st, 2009 at 4:40 pm
I rise to oppose it, because a crime is a crime is a crime………

I am not ok with the bill at all for a few reasons but now that you mention it, I don’t like the "pedophilia" provision either. Talk about not protecting children anymore!

The South Park episode "Cartman’s Silly Hate Crime 2000" pretty much hits the nail on the head. It should be standard viewing in Civics and law classes.
September 1st, 2009 at 4:40 pm
Who is proposing this & when is it expected to pass?
If this is true it is opening the door for sexual crinimals to do as they please.
EDIT;
The so-called hate crimes bill will be used to lay the legal foundation and framework to investigate, prosecute and persecute pastors, business owners, Bible teachers, Sunday School teachers, youth leaders, Christian counselors, religious broadcasters and anyone else who the law deems capable of committing a crime motivated by hate of the victim. The problem is that innocent people like those just mentioned who believe in the Bible teachings will come under the rubric of committing a hate crime if they express their religious beliefs.
"H.R. 1913 broadly defines "intimidation. A pastor’s sermon could be considered "hate speech" under this legislation if heard by an individual who then acts aggressively against persons based on any "sexual orientation." The pastor could be prosecuted for "conspiracy to commit a hate crime."

So, what’s your question?
September 1st, 2009 at 4:40 pm
that really has nothing to do with making the acts legal, it just means that those sexual orienatations are now protected classes, meaning they can sue for being discriminated against. For example, say an employee is discriminated against because he is a pedophile. Before, he wouldn’t have been able to sue for discrimination because pedophilia was not a protected class, but now he can, because of this.
I’m just trying to explain it better
September 1st, 2009 at 4:40 pm
The hate crimes bill is long overdue. The religious right needs to be told they cannot persecute people that they don’t like.
But why are you posting a list of Republican ‘ party games?
September 1st, 2009 at 4:40 pm
sexual orientation only applies to gay, straight, or bisexual
you can stop twisting the truth now.
September 1st, 2009 at 4:40 pm
You’re much deader if you’re killed because of your race or sexual orientation than if you’re killed in a robbery.
September 1st, 2009 at 4:40 pm
Out of the entire list, only a very few are actually criminal acts, such as Pedophilia or Bestiality (though not in all states), Toucherism, Necrophilia, and Prostitution (again, not in all states).
Only one or two of them are considered genuine mental disorders.
Nothing in the law makes ANY of the illegal ones LEGAL.
And only a very few are considered "sexual orientation." The balance are considered "fetishes" and are not illegal or classified as a mental disorder by the DSM-IV.

We’re headed down the exact same path as Canada, where the gospel of Christ is now considered hate speech and illegal to preach. We’re in the end days as defined in the bible, it’s to be expected. God bless.

We sure need another stupid bill. Just another piece of paper that will be ignore. Jeesh!!

This law is not about protecting this whole range of bizarre sexual behaviors. Hate crimes legislation simply enhances penalties for crimes based on hate.

Sick people want to protect their right to be sick…That’s why we
have this crp. Just another example of law stacking…stupidity
from your gov. as always.
September 1st, 2009 at 4:40 pm
I think that the pedophilia thing is crazy. No one wants some adult man touching their child, let alone think about. What about Sexual Sadism? You really want someone to inflict pain on you to get sexually excited? Or Zoophilia/Bestiality having sex with animals. That is how people get sick, STD’s, Rabies. Notice there is no law to say that these people with these sexual preferences have to tell you. Isn’t that crazy? They could be thinking of your children, or your pets and its all legal. If the world isn’t coming to an end.
September 1st, 2009 at 4:40 pm
We already have laws on the books to protect everyone from harassment, attack, and murder. We don’t need any more laws to protect a few sexual perverts, gays, lesbians, religious sects, atheists, or anyone else for that matter.
EVERYONE, regardless of who they are, are protected by the laws we already have. There is no need for congress to spend the money or the time time to create a bill we don’t need.
A crime against a member of one of the listed groups is no worse than a crime against you, me, or anyone else.
I’ll tell you one thing though. If I ever see someone doing something to one my grandchildren, he’s going to have to answer to me. That’s not a hate crime against the perpetrator. It’s against his actions.
September 1st, 2009 at 4:40 pm
Nonsense, just like all other "hate crime" bills.
