ya but our rights should not be up for vote. You do not have the right to vote away others rights, specialy based on religous beliefs.

HRC..you are HYPOCRITES!!

You are NOT our allies!! You gladly dropped the "T" in GLBT in the fight for the ENDA amendment because YOU thought WE would be too much of a burden and not allow it to get passed. You protected the rights of gays and lesbians at the expense of US, the trans people.

FUCK OFF!!

We had a beautiful ceremony yesterday at Royal Park in Launceston Tasmania Australia. Much love to all who have been affected by transphobia xx

It's not because of 'WHO' they are it's because of 'WHAT' they are. Who they are i them as a person...their personality, attitudes, etc. Hate and kill people who are not what colour you think they should be hate and kill people missing limbs, hate and kill people who have shaved heads......see how pointless? FEAR...is all this is about.

IF it doesn't "feel right" it probably isn't genuine. Is it enough that HRC is at least making an attempt to be more tolerant and inclusive? I don't know, but if a platform is presented we should use it to our advantage. (Special note to Diane, London and Carol : namaste)

@collegestudent4peace

Is it wrong to try to get protection for some? ENDA is incomplete and they understood that when it was passed. But isn't it better to get something passed and keep fighting? As someone on both the L and T parts, I say it is progress. It would be hypocritical to call the battle over, but I think it is better that something got passed than nothing at all.

My trans brothers and sisters, stay strong!

@collegestudent4peace Maybe we can see this as a start for them to reunite with us and help us. Yes, they did let us down numerous times in the past, but that is no reason to give up hope for a future. A new generation is moving in, and so perhaps there is more hope for them to help us in this fight now.

@bobby472 Correct. Nobodys beliefs have the right to trump anothers freedom - and the people that think they do are mentally ill and need to see a doctor. Beliefs, which are supported by no evidence, dont have any right to claim moral jurisdiction over my experience.

[jcac1023]

Fuck HRC. They are the ones who only support the LGB and not the T. Hypocrites...
