i'm too old and fed up with your pals ...kerry,<br /><br />i'm too old and fed up with your pals at HRC's religious desk. the entire org is a drain on the community and does nothing more really than suck up gay dollars, then keep building the HRC empire.<br /><br />oh, federal changes that directly benefit gays, like ENDA and other protections? nope, HRC hasn't delivered and i'm in no mood to cut the religious arm of the arm some slack.<br /><br />here's a radical notion, after 30 years and hundreds of millions of gay dollars wasted by HRC: deliver some tangible results. enough with the chicken dinners.<br /><br />and leave the religious issue to gay religious orgs. HRC does nothing well and they deserve heaps more criticism.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08359712473083091475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141703.post-29678244454191287232010-09-16T22:13:36.285-07:002010-09-16T22:13:36.285-07:00i'm not speaking about the legislative arm of ...i'm not speaking about the legislative arm of hrc, about whose work i am not disagreeing with you. <br /><br />but you and others should know that <br />the religion and faith program at hrc has existed LONG before any of their work about ENDA.<br />the staff of that department are talented, and while i admittedly don't know much about phil attey, i do know that those religion and faith program staffers do not move without careful deliberation.<br /><br />i hear your frustration with hrc, but i hope that you also know there are talented people working there. the religion and faith program is an important part of growing our movement's integration with lgbt inclusive faith leaders and communities of faith. i just ask that you don't write them off so flippantly.Kerry Chaplinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17393529922768081767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141703.post-22603239697232029042010-09-16T21:32:10.470-07:002010-09-16T21:32:10.470-07:00good organizers? at what, exaxtly? the HRC was sup...good organizers? at what, exaxtly? the HRC was supposed to deliver legislative change at the federal level to protect gay folks, and they have failed at this. miserably so.<br /><br />to help divert attention away from their legislative failures at ENDA and other acts, they've created the religious program. it's just another racket for HRC, just like their useless equality index. <br /><br />you say the folks i mention from the HRC religious program are good at organizing and helping orgs grow. who the hell supports growing an org run by phil attey?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08359712473083091475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141703.post-83292415324221415812010-09-16T20:21:46.458-07:002010-09-16T20:21:46.458-07:00however you might feel about hrc, those folks you ...however you might feel about hrc, those folks you mentioned who staff hrc's religion and faith program are good organizers, and good at helping new or growing organizations to develop. <br />it's completely ridiculous to write them off without knowing about their history of supporting similar growing organizations, like california faith for equality, and a similar interfaith organization in maine.Kerrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141703.post-48008844042696672962010-09-16T16:37:24.798-07:002010-09-16T16:37:24.798-07:00yes, but phil attey's org has nothing positive...yes, but phil attey's org has nothing positive going for it. no need to pretend this org is good for the gays, when it's only good for the vatican.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08359712473083091475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141703.post-37211442386077731102010-09-16T16:31:10.522-07:002010-09-16T16:31:10.522-07:00Do you ever have even one positive thing to say ab...Do you ever have even one positive thing to say about any organization anywhere?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
