HRC is getting just like our enemies

This is from NOM Post,

Gay-marriage netroots are increasingly looking for someone to blame. Over at Queerty, a gay website, some people are calling for a boycott of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s leading gay rights organization. Why? Because well, gay and lesbian Americans have funneled over $500 million dollars to HRC over the last 20 years and (some say) have very little to show for it legislatively. Yes, that is half a billion dollars, with a “b,” that HRC has had to throw around–$43 million in the last year alone.
The piece generating this netroots commentary is called, “HRC Can’t Get ENDA Passed, But It Can Get a Disagreeing Journalist Fired.”
It’s a story about Larry Grard, a 58-year-old reporter for the Maine Morning Sentinel, who was so upset by the press release HRC sent out the morning after our great victory in Maine, calling the Yes on One campaign a campaign of “lies and hate,” that he fired off a personal email from his private account in response.
Now, we get lots of emails here at NOM. So what happened next was very telling. Instead of just brushing it off and going aobut their business, HRC decided that what they should do with their 43 million dollars this year is devote staff time to figuring out just who sent that snarky email and seeing if they could get the guy in trouble with his boss.
So Larry Grard is now fired. (His union has filed a grievance and our friend Bill Donohue has taken up the legal case.) To add to the outrage, Maine Today stepped in an abruptly canceled his wife’s cooking column.
“I mean, it’s small is what it is. It’s just absolutely astonishing that they did that. We could not believe it,” he says. “My wife, who absolutely did nothing wrong, [just] because she has the same last name as I do, they discontinued her cooking column, which was enormously popular,” Grard told One News Now.
HRC maintains that it did not try to get Larry or his wife canned. So what did it hope to accomplish? Why exactly did that gargantuan organization devote time and energy to track down Larry Grard, find his boss, and then get this small-town reporter in trouble with his boss because he shot off an email disagreeing with gay marriage?

Nice HRC getting those who don't agree with thier sorry asses fired, Now Anti-Str8 can HRC get. I can only guess that Joe thinks his ass is a fucking GOD,

HRC once a great ideal, now just a big pile of horse shit.

Children should't be subject to life long medical choices

Very interesting statement, which I'm sure the #transinc community will claim to be Transphobic.. in natural. There is nothing bias ...
