Violence Against Women Act meets opposition in the Senate.
The New York Times says that, among other reasons, Republicans do not want to support this anti-domestic violence legislation because "...it also dilutes the focus on domestic violence by expanding protections to new groups, like same-sex couples, they say."
What is the implication here...that there are no same-sex couples with women in them? That queer couples don't experience domestic violence? Both of these are patently false assumptions. I don't understand why more domestic violence prevention would be a BAD thing.
Clearly the Republicans just don't like people who aren't straight, cis, white, able-bodied, rich men. More than that, they actively want to kill them. It's a frightening world we live in.
