[l]'Human Rights Campaign also delivered a trans message: they're not holding a memorable event. They are, however, encouraging their supporters and staff to attend a vigil at DC's Whitman Walker Clinic. Pawning Transgender celebration onto another organization?'

The HRC had no business holding a corporate-sponsored ceremony for ->-bleeped-<-s, just think how insanely hypocritical that would have been. It was good they canceled it. They ultimately did make the correct gesture by recommending attendance at the Whitman-Walker Clinic's candlelight vigil. However, I was there and I did not see a single individual from HRC there. Maybe they have too much of a guilty conscience to show their faces when it's our day.
