Their logo really means “Equality for ME”. I wonder how much they paid Marlee Matlin to speak at their event. I've heard that some speakers receive up to $100,000 per speech.

It always amazes me that even in our own community , where we suffer the oppression of bigotry and hate , we have people who will contribute to the oppressors. Her spokesperson said she supports hrc. Perhaps she supports hrc as it has been presented to her, not in reality. I am so sorry to see any of us used by hrc.

There's no love lost here. I've watched this organization oppress many different groups over the years. Don't forgot the MMOW, March on Washington, back in 2000. Many boycotted that event and HRC angered the deaf gay community when it waited until a few weeks before the event to look for interpreters and then expected them all to volunteer! They had been planning the event for over 2 years and had a 1 million dollar budget. My experience with HRC was similiar to Robert’s. There’s no love lost here.
