Sylvia Rivera Law Project and others announce nonsupport of GENDA
From SRLP's website:
"It pains us that we ... cannot support the current GENDA bill, because we cannot and will not support hate crimes legislation. Rather than serving as protection for oppressed people, the hate crimes portion of this law may expose our communities to more danger—from prejudiced institutions far more powerful and pervasive than individual bigots."
