A quick opinion about the large gay lobbying group HRC

Look, the large group "The Human Rights Campaign" actually tried to prevent some of the gay marriage lawsuits from going foreward. They claimed that if we just sat on our hands and waited eventually everybody would just be fine. They wanted us to concentrate on ENDA, which they have been trying to pass for 10 years now. So if we had listened to them, we would not have marriage in Massachusetts, nor Marriage acceptance in New York, nor now in Ct. Look, I'm sure that Rosa Parks grandmother would have told her. "Rosa, don't stir up trouble, things will be fine if you just sit back there and stay quiet. Don't worry, eventually things will be different.
So basically, these large groups, with their huge parties where everybody jostles to have their picture taken with Rosie O'Donnell and care more about what wine is served than about securing our rights are like grandparents. You can appriciate their lives without reliving them yourself. The people that can pay $2000 to go to an HRC dinner, aren't concerned as much about the protections needed by a gay couple in West Virginia. they can pay lawyers to draw up contracts and take care of all that. So they also don't mind that 98% of that money raised by HRC will go to paying off the mortgage on their gigantic new office building in downtown Washington, and on the inflated staff salaries they pay. Again, the times, they are a-changing, and these large organizations have been sitting on their heels living off our donations and doing nothing for far too long.
