http://www.bilerico.com/2008/03/solmonese_no_means_no_on_enda_vote.phpI was completely flummoxed by the Human Rights Campaign's gala in Los Angeles last Saturday - lots of tuxes and spots of inspiration but no real take-away message, except something about The Big Picture.
This is a critical election year but no one waltzed out jazzed about who's doing what to win the presidency or congressional races. And the critical effort to stop an antigay marriage constitutional amendment from making the California ballot this November only got a fleeting mention.
Joe Solmonese did confirm, however, that HRC will give congress members who voted against the sexual orientation-only ENDA bill a negative score - albeit with an asterisk.
