I don't know how or if I can report this, which means I don't know if I'll write about it "officially" but it's truly unsettling to me how little national orgs, particularly HRC but others as well, are doing in response to the slow motion roll back of all our rights and progress.

They should be making so much noise they're unavoidable. Constant op-eds placed, constant interviews, their websites re-tooled to highlight the current fights and their place in it.

@e_urq HRC showed its true face as the home for comfortable, well-to-do white cis gay men during the ENDA fight in 2008. I've never trusted them completely since then, and they're newly confirming my stance.

@vizaezuul I agree completely, what I don't undersand is why banning drag in Florida, or book bans making their families unspeakable in their kids' schools isn't enough to spur them into action.

@e_urq It's a good question. The answer that springs immediately to mind for me is that comfortable, well-to-do people don't want to fight when it's uncomfortable and don't want to associate themselves with potential "undesirables." And drag queens are "flamboyant," unlike the staid, respectable queers. That's not a very charitable answer, I know, but again, the first one that comes to mind.
