HRC

No, the other HRC, the one that, as far as I'm concerned, has always been pretty much irrelevant. Which is why I don't normally join Chris Crain, GayPatriot, The Malcontent, Michael Petrelis, and a cast of thousands condemning them. I don't particularly trust national advocacy organizations to keep their eyes on the ball, and never did. I've scored them on the marriage issue and a few other things and let it go at that.

Nor am I a Democrat. Never have been. Registered Independent. (Although in Illinois, we're not required to register to a party.)

So, just to make it clear: as far as I'm concerned, by moving into the Democratic Party, HRC has made itself even less relevant as far as I'm concerned, if that's possible. As long as they're not dangerous, I'm not going to bother with them.

(Note: It should be clear, as well, from some of the brickbats thrown by John Aravosis and Pam Spaulding, in addition to those named above, that HRC does not have significant support in the blogosphere. It's not a partisan thing. It's a gay thing.)
