QuoteDonna Rose, the first and only openly transgender member of the Board of Directors of the Human Rights Campaign, has resigned from that post as a result of the recent actions and inactions of the HRC with regard to following through on the repeated promises made recently with regard to ENDA and the transgender community.

"We're just trying to set something right. Anyone should be accepted for who and what they are." --Jessica McKinnon, November 2006
The above-noted news flash is dated October 4. Perhaps this is why Solmonese has begun to talk out of the third side of his mouth on October 5. I have personally tried to get HRC to come to a meeting of transsexual people in the close-in Virginia suburbs to address the "T" in GLBT. The meeting never happened. I was given the run-around and no meeting.
I lived in Washington and gave lodging and transport to our sisters who went to the Hill to change some minds during Lobby Days.
I have no trust for HRC. They will do what they think is best for them and leave the T out of their agenda. Their past is their prologue.
And that's the news I have for now.
