I found an email that someone who describes himself as simply "a gay white male" sent to the HRC Board today, and shared on his blog (read it here). It's about ENDA and the aftermath. It's brilliant.  I only hope that the HRC spin-meisters don't take it, twist it, diminish it, or otherwise disrespect it.  Still, does anyone reading this truly believe that my former peers on the HRC Board will ever see it?  I don't.

There has already been so much said on this I almost feeling guilty for writing this.  However, the wonder of this is in it's simplicity and in a message that transcends letters of the GLBT soup.  This person probably doesn't know anything about transgender lives, or transgender challenges, but that doesn't diminish the power of his words.  He doesn't come across as angry or having any particular agenda.  His words aren't about political expediency - they're about fairness, and integrity.
