Victims Die, But Opportunism Lives On ....

We recently saw an HRC statement on the death of Angie Zapata. Now
that they've hired a trans person once again, it appears they're
appointing themselves as being de facto voice for the trans community.
They actually have a ->-bleeped-<- this time, and quote her in their
statement. Forget the fact that it's a rather thinly-veiled attempt by
Joe Solmonese to a) get himself some free publicity on a trans death,
b) attempt to paint his public relations iimage in a good light and on
the cheap, and c) capitalize on a trans death in order to somehow
capitalize on it.
