Congrats to the protestors in New York City and all those who are speaking out against the HRC agenda! Click Here to join our HRC Doesn't Speak For Me facebook group. In addition to the Trans issues let's not lose site of their other favorite forms of oppression, their man Joe Lieberman is sticking with McCain and his call for 100 more years in Iraq."Faced with a boisterous picket line that drew a crowd of more than 50 and with the absence of every lesbian, gay, and bisexual elected official from New York City -- and nearly every other prominent city Democrat -- Joe Solmonese, the president of the Human Rights Campaign, used his keynote address at the group's annual Midtown Manhattan dinner to answer critics who fault it for going along with a version of the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) that does not include protections for transgendered Americans....
The Radical Homosexual Agenda, which provided the drum corps as well as many of the bodies for the picket line, distributed flyers criticizing the corporate policies of several major HRC corporate sponsors. The flier argued, "HRC isn't just derailing the needs of the majority of the queer community. They're also narrowing our vision of what queer relationships can be."
The crowd repeatedly returned to the chant, "What do we want? Liberation. Fuck that assimilation." - Keep Reading - Gay City News

Notice to Picket
Human Rights Campaign Gala
Dear Friends. I would like to inform you that I have set up a Demonstration with a picket line at the Westin Hotel and the Charlotte Convention Center on February the 21st. The Charlotte Police Dept has been notified in accordance with the law and is a legal Picket. The Demonstration will start at 5pm until 7pm.
The reason for the Protest is that HRC, the Human Rights Campaign in negations with Congress for the Employment Non Discrimination Act. Agreed with the Congressional Committee to Delete the Transgender Community from the Bill, giving us no chance for equal employment. The Human Rights Campaign was paid by the transgender community through membership fee’s and donations to represent us in a full and inclusive ENDA. HRC failed us by agreeing to elimate us from the bill.
We as the transgender community deplore this action by HRC, who claims to be a transgender inclusive organization. I ask the LGBT community to support us by boycotting the Charlotte Gala in hopes that the LGBT community will send a clear message to HRC that we are a family that supports each other. If you would like to participate in our demonstration contact me at janiceCovington1@aol.com.
Thank you
