Quotethe platform pledges to fight discrimination based on gender identity

Which is more than what HRC is willing to do.

QuoteThe platform addresses many of our community's critical issues, however it does not explicitly use the words gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender.

That is because those who wrote up everything are much, much smarter than you are Joe.

Can't argue at all with your analysis, Syne!
