One of the things that really bothered me about Bill Clinton during his presidency was how he parsed words. Every single dot and tittle was accounted for and packed with hidden meanings. "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms Lewinsky" meant, "I didn't have sex with that woman, if you mean vaginal intercourse."

It seems that the Human Rights Campaign's president, Joe Solmonese took a page out of the Clinton parsing workbook. According to the Southern Voice:

    Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese met with a handful of transgender activists in Atlanta last week and apologized for 'misspeaking' at last year's Southern Comfort conference, where he promised HRC would only support an Employment Non-Discrimination Act that included gender identity, according to people attending the meeting.
