Describe your familiarity with Pittsburgh’s LGBT Community including any receptions, events, parades or other functions that you have attended that were sponsored by an LGBT organization. As a member of Pittsburgh City Council, State Senator, and now as Auditor General, I have been open-minded about issues impacting the LGBT community. I was also honored to have been recommended for election by the Stonewall Democrats in 2008. 2. Pennsylvania’s Hate Crimes Law does not currently include sexual orientation or gender identity as protected classes. Would you support an amendment to the law to include LGBT­bias hate crimes? Yes. I will continue to support efforts to strengthen state laws to protect the LGBT community from violence. As a State Senator, I introduced an amendment to the Ethnic Intimidation Act to increase sentences for bias or hate crimes motivated by the victim’s actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity; such an amendment was later enacted into law. I also introduced legislation to require the Attorney General and the State Police to collect and report statistics on crimes motivated by the victim's sexual orientation or gender identity. -1- Response of JACK WAGNER March 12, 2010 3.
