Otherwise, it is just self-aggrandizing vitriol that serves no purpose. If the person hasn't been to D.C. to help on Lobby Day and see what HRC actually does, then they really are just talking out of their you know what.

Sorry to say I agree with Mpetrelis about the actresses who comes out the closet... they (she really haven't done anything for us really... Also why support a gay Organization that is so willing to throw a part of our community under the bus so easily... out of all the people to speak on the behalf of HRC why do we get Joe every year…

HRC rakes in at least $40 million annually through the dinners and other fundraising efforts, and we have so little to show for all the money they've raised. sure, it's great to have the latest b-actress to come out appear at HRC's dinners this year, but i'm tired of them. i've seen amanda bearse, anne heche, wanda sykes, george takei, and now meredith baxter come out of the closet, and get some red carpet time. when the heck are the dinners and the parade of b-celebs gonna produce some federal protections for gay people???????? i’ll agree with you that many of the folks who help put on HRC’s endless dinners around the country are good people, and that they do much local work that benefits lots of people. but let’s not be blinded by the people working to make the gala fab.
