Update

"The massacre of 49 people in an Orlando, Florida, gay bar by a self-professed jihadist has put a spotlight on hate crimes against LGBT people.Seven years after landmark federal legislation recognized attacks on LGBT people as hate crimes, no comprehensive United States-wide system exists for tracking bias crimes. And while 30 states have enacted similar laws, criminologists say many of them are poorly written and make convictions difficult." - Thomson Reuters FoundationFor More Info: http://news.trust.org/item/20160628163305-qn2nm/?source=hpOtherNews3
