On the day that H.R. 2015 was introduced:

First, Solmonese repeated the lie that the Human Right Scampaign was, in 2007, “the nation’s largest gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender advocacy organization.” (Remember, at that time it had NO trans employees, had NEVER employed a trans woman in any capacity, had just recently been proven to be fraudulently inflating its membership numbers and – of course – was not really advocating for trans rights.)
Then, he immediately referenced the first federal gay rights bill – which was a GAY-ONLY rights bill – yet he immediately followed that with a sentence utilizing “GLBT.” (Tell me that that was not fully calculated to confuse the issue. And, also, lets not forget that the bill he referenced, not only was not trans-inclusive, but it also was not employment-inclusive! Bella Abzug’s first bill was comprehensive – as to all areas of civil rights law other than employment.)
After his usage of “GLBT” he whips back around to mixing and matching in ways that he can later mold to mean anything he wants:
nearly 90 percent of Americans believe that gays and lesbians should have equal employment opportunities. Furthermore, a healthy majority of Americans support congressional action to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
Which ENDA is he referring to?
The one that was then just introduced?
Or one that would only cover gays and lesbians?
Yeh, yeh…
We know how the story ends. But follow along. Maybe you can convince yourselves that the Solmonese Scampaign really gave a damn about whether we lived or died.
Appletinis for all!
