LGBT rights advances stoking more violent hate crimes

Clip: 6/13/2016 | 7m 53s

The Orlando mass shooting put a new focus on efforts to pass hate crime laws.

The Orlando mass shooting put a new focus on efforts to pass hate crime laws — and the sobering reality that LGBT Americans are more than twice as likely to be the target of a violent hate-crime than Jews or African-Americans. Gwen Ifill talks to Rachel Tiven of Lambda Legal and Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center on how recent LGBT rights successes may be stoking more anti-gay violence.
