HRC Comes to San Francisco July 26.
If Queers Without Borders could fly off to San Francisco we would be there for the protest against HRC’s annual dinner. We will be there in spirit, in solidarity sending out our good vibs for justice and freedom for all. We will be in the street with the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club, And Castro 4 All, SF Labor Council, Pride at Work at what these groups are calling the “Left OUT Party.” I found this information on Kelli Busey’s site (see link for planetransgender on our side bar) and she had a link to an article from San Francisco’s Alternative Online News. The article by Tommi Avicolli-Mecca can be found here. There are many fine articles stating QWB’s position on HRC. To sum it up in a nut shell, Fuck HRC!!!

Could you give us a report about who Diego Sanchez is and what is his bag. Thanks
Diego Sanchez is an AIDs Activist at the “AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts, Inc” from the Boston area and the AIDS Action Council in Washington, DC. He is a founding Board member of the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE). He is the past Co-Chair of the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition (MTPC). He is on the 2008 Democratic National Convention (DNC) Platform Committee.
And… he is on the Steering Committee and is the Diversity Co-Chair of Human Rights Campaign’s (HRC) Boston chapter.
"Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa pulled out as keynote speaker for a gay rights group's fundraising event scheduled for tonight following intense lobbying from transgender activists angry over the group's stand on a federal gay rights bill."
