HRC shows their true Colors

From Get off my Runway,

“The Human Rights Campaign asked us to take down our trans* flag because ‘marriage equality is not a transgender issue.’
They said this to one of our activists as well as a transgender person who held the flag. We stood our ground, and flew our flag proudly.
That flag flew behind the podium ALL day today, keep an eye for it on the news.”

This apparently happened twice. Well done, HRC. Well done. But I’m not allowed to be critical of your campaign. Get the fuck out of here.

HRC once again whats the T out of our movement.. Chad is like Joe only in it for the pay Check

,p>HRC is also facing criticism from United We Dream’s Queer Undocumented Immigrant Project. In a video posted to YouTube today, QUIP leader Jerssay Arredondo claims his speech at an HRC-organized event at the Supreme Court was revised by the national LGBT group.

HRC’s full statement below: “Tuesday and Wednesday were historic days for our community, as thousands of LGBT people gathered in front of the Supreme Court and in every state across the country to demonstrate their support for marriage equality. HRC was proud to play a role in these events as a member of the United for Marriage coalition, the group which organized the gathering at the Supreme Court. Marriage equality is an issue that fundamentally impacts hundreds of thousands of LGBT people and families across our nation and is greater than any one organization.

“It was agreed that featuring American flags at our program was the best way to illustrate this unifying issue which is why when managing the area behind the podium, several people were asked to move who were carrying organizational banners, pride flags or any other flag that was not an American flag. Several people refused and they were allowed to stay. The coalition welcomed the variety of signs and flags that were throughout the plaza that demonstrated the wonderful diversity of our community.

“It is a not true to suggest that any person or organization was told their flag was less important than another – this did not occur and no HRC staff member would ever tolerate such behavior. To be clear, it is the position of the Human Rights Campaign that marriage is an issue that affects everyone in the LGBT community.

“The events at the Court featured lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender speakers as well as LGBT families, religious leaders, Republicans, military spouses and civil rights activists. This has been a historic week and truly demonstrated how all of us – lesbian, gay, bisexual and straight, transgender and cisgender – can unite as one voice to advocate for our constitutional rights.”

Once again HRC Thinks they own our movement..

HRC MUST GO

NC Values Coalition Busing folk to DC this March 26

Yes they are, the cost is fifty buck, which I’m think about doing to get there, since no LGBT marriage equality isn’t doing anything to help our Community to get their. They only provide travel and lodging info that all, as usual they want our money and give us nothing in return

.

 

Once again our opposition have their shit together why our (lgbt) orgs play the like game on Facebook. yes our Orgs can’t help sponsor a bus cause they don’t have the funds, yet they have the funds to hold these expensive galas to ass kiss those in Hollywood and the rich old white men that are in the closet..

It would be cheaper for me to pay NCVC 50 bucks then to take a bus or train..

To March or not to March that is the Question?

This is from the Washington Blade,
Veteran activist Robin Tyler is ratcheting up her previous call for a national LGBT march on Washington, D.C., in 2012.

Tyler said the process of organizing a national march would trigger more activity in the states than what is currently taking place under the leadership of both state and national LGBT groups.

Well M.C. over that InterstateQ thinks this is a bad idea. This is what he claims:

Similarly, no one so far has pointed out any single direct benefit gained from any of our community’s past national marches on Washington. I’m willing to listen and weigh the evidence, but as it stands I know of no victories, successes or changes that came as a direct result of encouraging thousands or even hundreds of thousands to blow hundreds or thousands of dollars in traveling for to the national mall for one day’s worth of chanting and holding signs.

Well nothing never came out of these marches on Washington, I would beg the differ. Something always come out these Marches, they may be small changes, or more networking between local and national groups too.

He suggest, that Robin Tyler, if she is truly interest in creating change in this nation, then she support more local equality initiatives, and if she wants a national gathering, she should try attending the next Creating Change Conference. Where she will learn something and meeting new friends and allies, and will get resources to start on equality at home.

I think Matt is forgetting that Ms Tyler has been around much longer then he has. Fighting equality and social justice much longer then He has. However I forgot this is the new era of LGBT where the young think they own the movement…

However, Miss Negative Nancy had this to say as well,

But if education and true motivation to create change is not want you’re really after, then go ahead and plan a national march on Washington. You’ll just spend a day walking and marching and chanting and holding signs. When you go home, you’ll feel really, really good. But you’ll have exactly the same amount of resources you left home with: zero.

Then what do we get out of having Pride Marches every year? We walking around, chant, hold signs, buy pride items from vendors, this is sounding like same as a March on DC... to me..

HRC Gala to be PROTESED by Pro LGBT group and Westboro Church, WOW

I wonder just whom the HRC will be fucking over this time, to get our so-call Change President to attend this fucking dinner for the stupid white fucks in DC..

HRC and Joe need to go.. better yet get JOE the fuck out of HRC,, He is over paid for JOB he sucks at..
What is below was taken from LGBT POV

Longtime activist Andy Thayer is angry and he’s taking his anger from Chicago to Washington. Thayer, you may remember, co-founded the effective online StopDrLaura campaign with fellow activist Robin Tyler, among other actions.

Here’s the press release he sent out this morning:

Pro-LGBT Picket of Obama This Saturday Moved from White House to HRC Gala
In reaction to the announcement yesterday that President Obama will address a black tie fundraising gala of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) on Saturday, October 10th, organizers of a pro-LGBT picket originally scheduled for that night at the White House have instead moved the picket to the site of the HRC gala. The picket will begin at 6 PM in front of the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, on the northeast corner of Mt Vernon Place NW and 9th Street NW, Washington, DC.
While the picket organizers will be participating in the Sunday, Oct. 11th Equality March, they charge that the march organizers have been going easy on the Obama administration and the Democratic Party in general.  Barack Obama was long on pro-gay promises during the campaign, they say, yet short on delivering on them once he took power in late January.
“The time for talking is over,” said Andy Thayer of the Chicago-based Gay Liberation Network (www.GayLiberation.net), one of the two organizations sponsoring the picket.  “This President promised to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), he promised to repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, he promised to pass the pro-LGBT Employment Non-Discrimination Act and a whole host of other things.  Instead, he’s delivered on nothing while embracing anti-gay bigots Rick Warren and Donnie McClurkin.  The last thing we need is more flowery rhetoric in front of rich, self-effacing gays and lesbians dressed up like penguins.”
The picket is cosponsored by the Dallas-based direct action group, Queer Liberaction (queerliberaction.moonfruit.com), a group which played a leading role in organizing an effective community response to the violent police raid on a Fort Worth bar.  ”The Obama administration has likened LGBT relationships to incest and bestiality,” said Queer Liberaction co-founder Blake Wilkenson.  “He cited his ‘Christian beliefs’ for the reason why he now opposes equal marriage rights for same-sex couples.  He refuses issue a stop-loss order to prevent purges of lesbian and gay soldiers.  If we are going to get real change out of this White House, we need to make demands of this President.  As the great anti-slavery activist Frederick Douglass put it, ‘Power concedes nothing without a demand.’”

   BULLSHIT. This EXACTLY the thing we need to do. Barack “I’m a lying homophobe” Obama deserves nothing but contempt from all self-respecting queers. Protest and organization have forced Obama to make this gesture of attending this fundraiser. Protest and organization forced Bill Clinton to come out in favor of gay marriage. Protest and organization has forced Congress to propose bills repealing DOMA and DADT one week before the march.
   Lobbying and licking the Democratic Party’s ass hasn’t gotten us shit.
   Barack Obama already has a press office. He doesn’t need us to make apologies and excuses for him.
