United We Dream demands apology from Human Rights Campaign

The HRC continues their failing streak.

Just a reminder: the “equals” sign is HRC’s logo. It is NOT synonymous with LGBTQ rights and/or marriage equality.

I threw together a red marriage equality graphic that shows support but still calls out the HRC (to whom the “equals” logo belongs) for their transphobia. Please feel free to use/use as a springboard for a better graphic.

Though I like the concept, the problems HRC fails to acknowledge spans way past “Marriage equality”.

Indeed, but I kept it to “marriage equality” since many have voiced the heartening feeling of seeing all the current red and white in support for what they hope will be the SCOTUS decision, but the annoyance at HRC’s logo sitting there (kind of like the support for Dan Savage’s “It Gets Better” campaign, as problematic as it is, when Savage has said plenty of awful, offensive shit to the “B” and “T” portions of the LGBTQ community). I wanted to create a graphic (or inspire people to create a graphic) that enabled people to take part in the red equals sign for marriage equality but still acknowledge that the HRC is still fucked up.

Backstory

Do they get together and hold meetings about how best to screw up trans inclusion?

:(

FUCK the HRC (who apparently don’t understand that trans* people can, you know, NOT be heterosexual), although I’m glad to see the seas of red on my Facebook feed (I made my profile pic red but deliberately left out the equal sign).
I like to think of it as people taking back the equal sign from them, or rather taking (and supporting) the message of marriage equality and ignoring the terrible messenger.

Maybe a red equals sign with “MARRIAGE EQUALITY FOR ALL THE LGBTQ, HRC!” graphic?

I threw this together. Still got red, still got equals, still got marriage equality, but calling out the HRC and their transphobia.

LGBTQ* Quotes and Remembrance 

“For many Americans, coming out will be the hardest thing they ever do. While it’s a shame that Americans were not able to experience this aspect of Sally while alive, we should all be proud of the fact that like many LGBT Americans, she proudly served her country, had a committed and loving relationship, and lived a good life.” — Human Rights Campaign president Chad Griffin
