Lately HRC President Joe Solomonese has come under more fire from LGBT activists for giving the White House a pass after the underwhelming speech President Obama gave at the HRC annual dinner. Joe didn't help himself when he sent out an email asking us to wait until 2017 before passing judgement on the President's record on gay rights.
I have to say I'm more than disappointed by HRC and Solomonese's actions. When HRC launched their DOMA Repeal campaign, I thought I should stop bitching about them and do something to show my support of the more sensible approach. So I opened my wallet and donated.
Now I'm starting to wonder if the whole DOMA repeal is just a temporary measure by HRC to placate their critics, with no true intention of getting their weight behind it. One thing is for sure: despite their high-profile campaign to repeal DOMA, HRC has not put any pressure on the White House to act on it. Was this a secret deal struck during one of their "strategic" meetings with the Administration?
And Joe, don't expect to see another penny from me. I gave you the benefit of doubt, your action however, showed you're unworthy.
