This man is far from a hero, he has broken the very oath he took when joining up. His actions made a clear point on the side of NOT appealing DADT.

They want it repealed ok…I say go ahead and go back to the prior system of not allowing gays and lesbians to serve under any circumstances.

Time to dishorably discharge this gay rights poster child.

Since its founding, there are few if any victories that HRC can claim to its name. While HRC demands that our adversaries such as NOM reveal their contributors which has been found to be a violation of the 1st Amendment, HRC has steadfastly refused to open up its books to the community so that we could see who holds the purse strings and sets organization and Movement priorities.

Perhaps there was a time when HRC could have argued that
privacy demands confidentiality, but that time has long past. In any case, the organization can always black out the name and simply provide a general description of any donor who wished to remain anonymous.

HRC should also provide a breakdown of its officers and staff by race, religion, ethnicity, gender, identity, ability and age so that the entire community has an opportunity to discern the degree to which we are represented in terms of our diversity.

Joe Solomnese has made numerous inaccurate statements such as the political versus the personal significance of coming out. Under his leadership, HRC hijacked the No on Prop 8 campaign. Though we probably would have lost in any event, that does not change the fact that the situation was badly mishandled a/w/a others.

I find it ironic that the LGBT Movement distinguishes itself as a “grassroots” movement from the antiwar, Black Civil Rights and feminist movements.

National antiwar movement organizations such as SDS, national Black Civil Rights movement organizations such as the NAACP and national feminist organizations such as NOW all had chapters in virtually every state and many ciities. Neither HRC, NGLTF, LLDF or any other national LGBT organization has branches anywhere.

The single issue National Abortion Rights Action League had a national headquarters to oversee the state-by-state legislative campaign which was eventually and unfortunately hijacked by a federal court decision which has led to nothing but headaches. All of the various state Same Sex Marriage organizations should be similarly united under a national umbrella organization.
