Checking my mailbox today, I saw a new email from Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese titled "New! '08 Buying for Equality guide."
Opening the email, I was chagrined to see that the HRC had sent an email about shopping instead of one about Transgender Day of Remembrance - which is today. Although it is a commendable wish to have members of the LGBT community and our allies do their holiday shopping with companies that support equality, which is the goal of the guide, couldn't that email have been sent tomorrow, or the next day, or any day other than Transgender Day of Remembrance?
Where is the HRC's email about this important day? Maybe I missed it?
Going to the HRC's website, the first thing I saw was an advertisement for an ornament being sold at the HRC Store. The only mention of Transgender Day of Remembrance was a small link farther down the page.
The HRC is a great organization that does a lot of good. But it certainly missed the mark today.

In addition to memorializing the people lost to senseless hate and violence, I would like to honor the women and men who courageously live their lives in truth everyday.
It makes me so angry that much of the hate and degredation against the GLBT community is embraced by religion!
Everyone in our community should know that there's a documentary film soon to be released about two lesbian women who set out to fight against religious bigotry by posing as a straight couple in an evangelical church... and they have proof.
