The discussions were painful but enlightening. Jo Kenney and Gloria Nieto stood consistently strong for ALL to be included.<BR/>You will always be my heroes and my friends.<BR/>Virginia StephensonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13945151176179503311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29679936.post-73124608498977473472007-10-01T09:58:00.000-07:002007-10-01T09:58:00.000-07:00http://nosubstitutes.orghttp://nosubstitutes.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29679936.post-41795955314080225982007-09-30T23:19:00.000-07:002007-09-30T23:19:00.000-07:00Amen brother.

In fact, I have rarely seen more agreement on an issue since the community gathered to watch Ellen come out on national television.<BR/><BR/>So, clearly a few LGBT leaders made a big mistake in thinking that the LGB community wasn't 100% supportive of our transgender brothers and sisters. HRC has shot themselves in the foot but it's not the first time and it won't be the last. The good news is that I don't think this is a fatal injury for our leading LGBT advocacy organization. Let's hope some lessons are learned (i.e. time for some new faces in our LGBT advocacy organizations.)<BR/><BR/>I do hope (and expect) that our transgender allies will continue to partner with all gays and lesbians in defeating the real threat to the inclusion of gender identity in ENDA - George Bush and the GOP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
