HRC | New HRC Board Co-Chair Selection Michael Berman Sends Strong Message of Unity
HRC | New HRC Board Co-Chair Selection Michael Berman Sends Strong Message of UnityThis is total bullshit!!!
And it also proves the adage that just because someone says something doesn't make it true. Ms. Baba said “...this choice sends a strong message that the fight for equality can unite all fair-minded Americans.” The message I get is gays and lesbians can't fight for them selves and have to bring in straight people to help.
Oddly enough, I have seen this senario in the past with Sherry Stark - a straight woman from Atlanta - taking over Georgia Equality Project - Georgia's largest gay and lesbian group. Sherry wasn't a lesbian, didn't have gay children or even a gay dog or cat. She just saw the opportunity to move in on a group with her temporary charm and get herself in the paper.
I thought it was cute at first but eventually realized Sherry was looking to fill a leadership void in her life and make the papers as often as possible. She was quickly run out of town back to Marietta.
Yes, straight allies are important but having them run the largest gay and lesbian group is ridiculous. How would it look if the NAACP had a white chair?
Gay groups need gay leaders!!!
