They’re On Their Way, Oh Lord, They’re On Their Way.

Why are we MAD!!

Its not only HRC’s continuing support of a non-inclusive ENDA bill and the disregarding and disrespecting of our Trans sisters and brothers that makes our blood boil, but also their support of Human Rights Abuses around the globe brought to the people by the Corporate world.

Read this copy from Gay Shame’s HRC Sweatshop Playland.

“The ultra straight-washed HRC urges us to “Buy for equality by giving the following multinational corporations a “GREEN LIGHT” for their commitment to “equality”.

First off we have Coors who have faced a boycott starting in the 1970s because of their donations to the Heritage Foundation, a far-right anti-gay, anti-woman organization and other attack squads. Up next we have the poster child for sweatshop manufacturing, NIKE. Even Clear Channel, home of homophobic DJ Michael Savage, gets a go ahead. And we are reminded to fill up for equality with Shell Oil which only got a 85 but our heroes BP and Chevron did score a perfect 100. We cannot forget the amazing work of global pharmaceutical domination with our friends over at Merck who, through patented AIDS medication make sure HIV + folks in Brazil and Thailand (and even the good old USA), cannot afford Efavirenz.

LAGAI — Queer Insurrection and Gay Shame dare to ask the blaringly obvious question: What about queer people working in sweatshops, or working class/ poor people around the world and in the US that have their lives and health ripped to pieces to manufacture the HRC’s vision of equality?”

QWB must ask???????

Do you like this, “we have ours, so too bad for everyone else.” ?????

Queers Without Borders means just that. We believe in the world wide embrace. The women at the machine in Mexico is our sister. The man in the sweatshop in China is our brother. We fight for human rights for all people not just lgbt people.

Let us also remember who the Ct. Sponsors of HRC and the sham conference at UCONN are and question them like there is no tomorrow.
