Here We Go Again...
...and it's just oh-so-familiar, isn't it?

Of course, by now you've heard that House Democrats are expected to strip protections for Transgender-American citizens from ENDA. You've probably also heard that the Human Rights Campaign and the Leadership Council on Civil Rights have chosen to not sign onto a letter supporting the inclusion of those protections. Once  again, we in the transgender community find ourselves in the same place we did in 2004,
"But who is that on the other side of you?"

HRC and LCCR on Monday issued a statement in favor of transgender inclusion in ENDA. Developments in this story keep shifting so rapidly, my head is spinning trying to keep up.
Here's what I find about compromise--
don't do it if it hurts inside,
'cause either way you're screwed,
eventually you'll find
you may as well feel good;
you may as well have some pride

Here are both:
http://www.hrc.org  The HRC main site.
http://www.hrc.org/news/7762.htm  And the link to the press release that says HRC will support only fully inclusive ENDA legislation and rejects the sexual orientation only "compromise".
Out of the darkness, into the light.
