I’ve volunteered low level at HRC for some time. I also think they have an all but impossilbe job from the little I get to see, but they sure know how to fill the house at their annual dinner which isn’t cheap.

What concerns me most about both the writer of the article and the HRC also is i see a grudge match here, or to put it another way – a hatfield and McCoy scene.

If you got fired from HRC, you shoulld avoid speaking against them > it hurts your credibility

We all need HRc. could they do a better job – sure. Could we be screwing the gay community by fighting amongst the community, damn well yes,and that sucks.

What a self-serving waste of column inches.Your original article starts with an anonymous source that throws out a charge that makes it appear that Solmonese wasn’t appropriately involved in getting the DADT repeal passed — you asked if there was any truth to this and were told in pretty blunt terms that the charge was BS… and having gotten an answer that you didn’t like, you went ahead with characterizing the exchange as “troubling”… and furthered it with the same kind of Faux News type of “there appear to be questions” to make bolster the main thrust of your original presumptions.

Now you’re back whining — and frankly overreaching with yet another presumption: that the Senate Leadership or HRC was responding to YOUR Blade commentary… and NO, once again you are incorrect in stating that no one disputed your original claim. They did. They called it bullshit. And just because you can’t get them to engage further in your supposed gotch-game, doesn’t prove anything.

I don’t know you nor do I care for your so-called reporting style. At the time of your initial piece, HRC was being raked over the coals and unfairly blamed for everything bad coming out of Washigton. And then for you to pose your question about Solmonese (based on what?) and expect him to defend himself is juvenile. I’m glad HRC is saying enough to you and all the other people out there who have biases or an agenda. How about fact-finding and corroborating sources first and not be a cry-baby if people don’t engage in your games?
