Does The Scampaign Realize How Funny It Is When It Takes Itself Seriously?

From an e-mail I received from the Rhode Island Avenue Cesspool of Transphobia:

 Every day, HRC is fighting for GLBT equality – in Congress, in the media, and on the ground in states across the country.

  • Our intrepid HRC field team is on the ground in California working to keep a same-sex marriage ban off the ballot. We’re organizing volunteers to encourage Californians to “Decline to Sign” the petitions that would put the initiative on the ballot.

  • Can you imagine the impact of 300 GLBT advocates talking to their state legislators about GLBT equality? It just happened in Indiana! Equality Indiana and HRC are teaming up to stop a constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriages and all forms of relationship recognition.

  • Harry Knox, director of HRC’s Religion and Faith program, went to North Carolina to debate the leader of an anti-gay church – and transformed the beliefs of many in attendance. It’s just one of the ways HRC is reaching out to the Evangelical community.

  • HRC spent months on the ground in New Mexico fighting for a domestic partnerships bill. Although the radical right used fear tactics to stop the bill in the state senate, our efforts built momentum and laid the groundwork for future successes.

As if the ‘T’ in “fighting for GLBT” wasn’t funny enough, here’s the real punch line.

The subject heading of the e-mail (as well as first topic heading - before “Our intrepid…”; BTW - what exactly is an “intrepid HRC field team”?  One that fucks things up in only one state?):

Subject:   What has HRC done for me lately?

Again…Pee Wee, stop it! You’re killing me!

No.

This time I’m serious.  You are killing me…

and all of us.

STOP!

    I’m more concearned with what they’ve done to me lately.

    And really - isn’t this whole “lady bountiful” deigning to elevate the poor serfs thing getting a bit tired? I suppose that’s all one’s left with when they can’t say look what we’ve done together.

    For transgender people there’s no we in HRC. No employment opportunities with them, no board members. One might think that in the 6 months since they started their “charm offensive” to try and cover up the stank from their enda debacle they’ld have included something more then empty rhetoric.

    I know - you’d think I’d know better by now. You can’t keep splashing perfume on a pile of excrement - it needs to be cleaned up and flushed away.
