POST AND PARTICIPATE [how to post]

Are you kidding? That's the BIG deal?

Not a word about "winning." Or "how."

It's easy to stroke each other, it's a lot more meaningful to come up with real SOLUTIONS. You have held a number of "panels" and none of them delivered a Plan. The LGBT Community needs a strategy to win, not circle-jerks.

ENDA has been reintroduced as the same limited bill for the purpose of being an "organizing tool".

Given that this bill will never pass in the the next year - do you think that not asking for the full civil rights bill which the community wants & needs; sets the stage for future concessions rather than greater enfranchisement?

Question for the Member of Congress:

Do you support the Dallas Principles' call for full legal equality with no delays and no excuses?
