Radical Homosexual Agenda Action Report
“I understand and I hear every day that some members of our community are feeling forgotten or left behind. It is easy to understand why,” Solmonese told a crowd approaching 1,000 in the ballroom of the Hilton on February 23. But he also said, “We have to overlook our differences and we have got to see instead of our individual wants and immediate desires… a vision for the America that we all want to live in.”
WHAT!!!!!!!! YOU SAY JOE SOLMONESE OF HRC????????
QWB SAYS YOU ARE A BIG BULL SHITER!
ALL THE WAY WITH RHA!!!!!!!!
“On Saturday evening February 23rd, noise reverberated throughout the enclosed entrance to the midtown Hilton Hotel as approximately 50 motley LGBT demonstrators hoisted three-foot tall pink cardboard middle fingers, drummed and chanted to protest a fundraiser for the Human Rights Campign, a nation gay rights group.”
“With Funding from corporations that use sweatshop labor, exacerbate global warming and repress unions and indigenous activists, HRC has more to answer for than just ENDA,” says Tim a member of RHA who helped to coordinate the demonstration.

CALL TO ACTION
Tell HRC that Trans Rights=Queer
Rights!

When : Saturday, Feb. 23 at 5:30pm

Why protest HRC?Instead of supporting a united queer community, HRC dumped transgender people from ENDA, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, a bill banning discrimination based on sexual orientation, but not gender identity. HRC executive director Joe Solmonese said, “We absolutely do not support and, in fact, oppose legislation that is not absolutely inclusive.” But behind the scenes, he worked to eliminate trans protections.ENDA passed in the House and went on to fail in the Senate. Yet HRC continues to hail the bill as a “victory.” But the real victory is that so many LGBTQ groups are rallying together to oppose HRC by telling them they can’t turn some of us into second-class citizens so others can get ahead. The real victory is that, from Stonewall to Seattle, trans folks have constantly battled on the frontlines for a better world, and now a clear majority of the queer community is standing in solidarity them.

[rha] Eight Creepy Things About HRC…
When you hear about the HRC, words such as ‘equality’ pop up all the time. Yet, queers have always known there is more to life, something lustier, and more joyous about our lives than this. Queers bring more to a democratic conversation than going along to get along. Equality won’t get you healthcare. The following are a few of the reasons why the HRC does not deserve your support.
