I had this link pop up on my Tumblr which appears to be a link to a White House petition"Keep Protections for Transgender and Lesbian Women in the Violence against Women Act of 1994". I've no reason to doubt it but hey, this is the internet. If one of you US guys could try the link and check it is the real thing, then we need to get some names down on the petition

I think that is dated info.

The House did write their own version of VAWA that striped out LGBT, First Nation and immigrant people, but they THEN voted and passed the Senate version that contained everything as it was original written.

It passed with everything. Eric Cantor wanted to

allow Native American women to be dragged onto their reservations where non natives could rape them and get away with it. He didn't want to antagonize the hunters who were in many cases the culprits. Nice.
