Imagine going to a family members funeral only to see their coffin stamped with the wrods "sposnored by" much like a nascar? <BR/> How nice of them to try to build a community when HRC is actually the only org to NOT join us in OUR movement. Screw them and screw their events. I will NEVER include nor recognize these money-grubbing events they stamp their logo on in the name of community building.

It regards the Cincinnati TDOR. Judge for yourself. <BR/><BR/>Re: [TGinKY] Re: Reminder: Transgender Day of Remembrance Vigil (Wednesday, Nov 19, 2008) Ashley Wilson<BR/><BR/>A few months ago, I would have agreed with you, but I feel much <BR/>differently now. Yes, I still get ill when I think of Joe <BR/>Solomonese's speech at SoCo last year. But I also realize that they <BR/>are the biggest LGBT lobbyists in the country, and we need them -- as <BR/>much as we hate to admit it.<BR/><BR/>I have recently become active in the HRC steering committee here in <BR/>Cincinnati, working with the diversity committee. We are trying to <BR/>bring minorites, women and transgender people into the fold. Right <BR/>now, 3 of our 7 members on the committee are transsexuals, and the <BR/>plan for the following year is to start building some strong inroads <BR/>with the T community. Personally, I feel it's better to build a <BR/>strong foundation from within the organization so that we will never <BR/>be shunned again. That is what I'm trying to do.<BR/><BR/>Our TDOR event on Friday is sponsored by HRC, but financially the <BR/>organization is only providing the refreshments. We have a long way <BR/>to go to regain the trust, but little by little we can make it happen.<BR/><BR/>Ashley :)<BR/><BR/><BR/>This is the kind of ignorance we have to continue to stand up to. - PolarPolarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680433936546882101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-39799855204169545172008-11-20T12:35:00.000-06:002008-11-20T12:35:00.000-06:00Thank you Monica and company for keeping the light...Thank you Monica and company for keeping the light shining brightly on the hrc - i am making sure the smaller bloggers such as myself have no confusion about who are friends truly are and the ways the homosexual rights corp (brilliant) is not our allie but more than willing to lie, cheat , and take the money of those who actually are not aware ..still of how narrow the definition of human rights is to these crooks. <BR/><BR/>we will never forget - and we will continue until we achieve full protections under the law ! <BR/><BR/> blessed be - pptgproudprogressivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05847907206540248082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-15570889002423022082008-11-20T05:44:00.000-06:002008-11-20T05:44:00.000-06:00Hey, Ethan, it gets even better.

Any t person who chooses to serve on an HRC steering committee is mistaken at best, and a sellout at worst. This I state after watching HRC dance around the T community since 1995. They've been doing this dance since Lizzie Birch was exdir, and Joe Solmonese is Lizzie Birch with less balls.Polarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680433936546882101noreply@blogger.com
