At first I was outraged by the "betrayal" of TG people by Barney Frank and HRC. But the more I think about it, I wonder why I, or for that matter, any TG person was surprised by this. I mean lets face it, good old Barney is going to do whatever HRC wants him to do. And, despite all protests to the contrary, HRC is not an activist group for the GLBT or even the GLB community...it is nothing more than a Political Action Committee for white, middle and upper class gay males. Oh sure, they make LBT noise and therein lies the rub; the thing that angers so many people. I mean if you want to be a group that represents left handed, red headed lesbians living in Omaha, that's fine...I have no problem with that as long as you specify that's what you're about. But don't say that's what you are while making noise about being concerned for bi-sexual Cubans in Fort Lauderdale just to raise more money and that is exactly what HRC does. It's a magic act that's all smoke, mirrors and misdirection to make us believe what we think we see, not what's real.
