Thanks for this. I will spread the word. HRC and the gay bourgeois groups who are pushing for marriage, hate crimes laws, and joining the imperialist military machine seem to care only about "glbt identity politics," that is, only issues that narrowly address the agenda of assimilation into capitalist politics and society. Those issues fit in with that agenda, and since any gay left has virtually disappeared (along with most of the American left), any challenge to that juggernaut should be opposed. Alas, many so-called leftists have embraced that agenda. Much appreciated. David ===========================================================================

Chevron might be for "diversity" in their workplace, but what good is that if it is at the expense of Ecuadorian victims of their toxic spills. This is from the Chevron website: Human Rights Campaign Recognizes Chevron The Human Rights Campaign Foundation awarded Chevron a perfect score on its Corporate Equality Index for the fourth consecutive year. The foundation rated nearly 600 businesses on their policies and treatment of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) employees, consumers and investors. Chevron’s nondiscrimination policies, domestic-partner benefits, diversity training and PRIDE (Promote Respect, Inclusion and Dignity for Everyone) employee network were all factors in the 100 percent rating, recognizing Chevron as a best place to work. The Human Rights Campaign is the largest U.S. civil rights organization working toward GLBT equality. ________________________________________________ YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.
