		<description><![CDATA[&quot;I&#039;ll show you mine, since you showed me yours.&quot;  (Referring to lawyers, of course.)

But seriously, how stupid do they think rank and file LGBT Democratic voters are? Do they think we&#039;re simply going to forget about this charade?

Who are these people? What do they plan to do for DC&#039;s LGBT residents? What are they going to do about the rise in brutal hate crimes under Gray&#039;s Chief of Police? Provide more lip service and photo-ops?

How do we know that they are not simply power-hungry political hacks seeking more hollow LGBT titles and jobs in the increasingly dubious Gray Administration? And in return for what? Silence while more LGBT people die or have their jaws shattered?

Were they elected in an open DEMOCRATIC process? Did they proclaim their candidacies well in advance-- in an honest and forthright manner? Did they seriously seek the votes of Stein Club members through customary communications and open campaigning? Did they have the common decency to seriously seek to persuade Stein members to their positions and plans? 

Didn&#039;t they just skulk around and operate surreptitiously like political thieves in the night? It appears that they intentionally gamed the system. And that just looks terrible to Democrats who care about Democratic Party values and fair election processes.

Why on earth would LGBT Democrats of good conscience want to &quot;unite&quot; behind the dishonor and dirty politics they have brought to a once great LGBT political institution?

if this be the new regime at Stein, they&#039;ve got a lot to prove to LGBT Democrats.]]></description>
