Come on guys and gals, don’t eat your own
(The public in-fighting absolutely has to come to an end. The only way to move forward is to join together and continue to fight what truly separates us from a fully equal and inclusive society (Cross-Posted from Good As You) Show support by signing the petition –Punted)
With our community apparently incapable of understanding the concept of keeping your internal strife to yourself and instead combatting your opposition (a strategy our opposition has mastered to perfection), the public battle over trans-inclusive ENDA vs. gutted ENDA continues to rage on. The latest:
-Lambda Legal finds a stripped down version of ENDA to be inadequate.
-Barney Frank says Lambda’s assessment is wrong.
-Americablog’s John Aravosis questions why “trans” was added to ENDA in the first place if it was just going to be dropped
-The only transgender member of the Human Rights Campaign board, Donna Rose, steps down from her post over this situation
-The National Transgender Advocacy Coalition is protesting the October 6th annual HRC National Dinner in Washington, DC, at which Nancy Pelosi is to be honored.
-This despite the fact that HRC has now launched a “full-scale nationwide call to action” in support of Inclusive ENDA
Meanwhile, just like that uncle we don’t care for who continues to stuff his face with turkey and stuffing while we argue with our brothers and sisters over Thanksgiving dinner, our opposition continues to sit back and enjoy the feast of material we are giving them with this public family food fight.
It needs to come to an end.
