HRC Protest at UCONN…
Well TransAdvocacy and Queers Without Borders braved the horrid cold (thank you Richard, Frank, Alvin, Paul and Philip) to tell HRC what we think. Click on the link below to see photo’s from the event. Click to view photo’s from the HRC protest at UCONN. It’s a good thing we kept our numbers small otherwise we would have outnumbered those attending. Sadly, my guess is that there were maybe 20 students (non panelists, non HRC plants) that attended. As they entered we provided them leaflets about HRC’s actions in supporting Sweatshops and selling Trannies down the river for the expedeiency of the Rich White Gays and Lesbians. Every single student attending, except for two lesbians who clearly did not want to talk to us, fully supported the action and were outraged at HRC’s exclusionary position on ENDA. The UCONN daily news had a piece on the event, though sadly the reporter got the facts wrong. First they never indicated who we represented (odd!), they made up a slogan that was NOT on our signs (perhaps our signs were too controversial for a UCONN student reporter?) and finally we NEVER went into the Dodd center but boycotted this facade of Real Dialogue on Inclusion by HRC!
Note two great blog entries I have seen on HRC and their selling out of Gender Identity and Expression.
