Proving Once Again That it is THE Cesspool of Transphobia…
And lets not forget: It is also a den of thieves and liars.
The commentary and screengrab are up at Transadvocate (thanks Marti!), though this apparently was first exposed by Donna Cartwright on TGVAdvocacy (thanks Donna!).
For those who have lost track, HR 3685 is Barney’s ENDA - the one that establishes a federal right for gays and lesbians to discriminate against trans people.
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the `Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2007′.
SEC. 2. PURPOSES.
The purposes of this Act are–
(1) to provide a comprehensive Federal prohibition of employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation;
(2) to provide meaningful and effective remedies for employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation
But not gender identity. Yet, despite having (seemingly) spent more time, energy and $ on spin than it would have taken to actually positively educate Congress on the legitimacy of trans-inclusion:
This is the letter HRC will send to your Congressman in your name:
Unbelievable!
Nope - just more ‘Classic HRC’. According to a subsequent post on TGV, one can no longer find that action item on the Scampaign’s website.
Too late.
That burning sensation - for some of you (and you know who you are) - is that purple (and yellow) kool-aid eating its way through the lining of your stomach and corroding whats left of your soul. (If you think that’s bad, I wouldn’t take a look at what that snazzy lil’ square bumper sticker is actually doing to your car.)
But…the kool-aid. The Kool-Aid!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did it taste good?
