HRC's Crucial SF Meeting
on Gay Marriage Loss


Oh, the many fabulous ways the Human Rights Campaign fearlessly leads the community in California after our devastating gay marriage loss on election night.

From spa nights to raise funds to pay their leader Joe So-So a cool quarter-million annually, to this upcoming shopping event at every rich gay person's favorite place to do political organizing -- Bloomingdales, HRC pulls out all the stops to add valuable guidance in these dark days.

Help me out here, people. Answer me this: What exactly would be lost in our struggle for equal treatment and a bit respect from voters, if this worthless-for-decades Democratic Party front group were to close up shop?

In the long run, any degree of gay equality at the federal level will come about only when gay Americans realize the abject failure of HRC and how it wastes $35-40 million gay community dollars annually.

I can't wait to attend this HRC forum, with a few friends and cameras, and document the great HRC in action, fighting for my rights. From the group's web site:

I've not contributed a single penny to those worthless jerks since 2000. I lived in NY at the time. Senator Moynihan was stepping down. He was one of only 14 Senators to vote against DOMA in 1996. Hillary Clinton lost no time in her campaign in announcing that she would have supported DOMA and stated that "marriage is as marriage always has been, between a man and a woman", thus proving that despite her very public religiosity, she is really quite ignorant of the Bible, since Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, and many other biblical figures had multiple wives. When HRC and ESPA rewarded her for moving NY backwards by being anti-gay where her predecessor was pro-gay, I vowed never to give them another cent. And I haven't.

Of course, I can easily understand why Joe So-So doesn't want equality and wouldn't give money to No on 8 -- if we actually get equality, he'll be out of a job and off the Washington party circuit.

Kudos to you for shining the light on one of the biggest reasons we don't have equality.
