Get Equal's ENDA Storm on Nancy Pelosi: Is This a Coordinated Bicoastal Activist Thriller?
http://www.queerty.com/get-equals-enda-storm-on-nancy-pelosi-is-this-a-coordinated-bicoastal-activist-thriller-20100318/ (http://www.queerty.com/get-equals-enda-storm-on-nancy-pelosi-is-this-a-coordinated-bicoastal-activist-thriller-20100318/)
It's unclear whether today's Dan Choi handcuffing was the lieutenant acting alone, or in tandem with Robin McGehee and Kip Williams' new group Get Equal, but something tells us we're seeing a coordinated effort to shock activists and lawmakers alike: The just-formed Get Equal says its members have stormed the San Francisco and D.C. offices of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi demanding she bring ENDA to a vote, and won't leave until she does. Or she has them arrested.
While the ineffective Human Rights Campaign sits idly by and plays with celebrities, we're witnessing a more renegade approach to securing equality going on this minute.
