                           GAY RIGHTS AGENDA

  (Mr. GOHMERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GOHMERT. Well, we've done it. Today was a landmark day. This body 
took the body of our military and attached to that body, as they were 
fighting, a gay rights agenda. I say ``gay rights agenda'' about this 
hate crimes bill because there is already a hate crimes bill. It was 
part of the 1968 Civil Rights Act. It included things like race, creed, 
color, national origin. So that was there already.
  So what we have done indicates this body has no shame. You know, we 
will take our military fighting for us, and attach a gay rights agenda 
to get it accomplished. You know, what's next? Where else do we go? 
What shame is there left? I guess there's more to be seen.
