HRC and HRC

I feared there had to be a catch - and there is. The Human Rights Campaign may have rigged that candidates' report-card to cater to the Clinton campaign:

Your criticism of HRC and HRC omitted one very important piece of evidence regards to their mutual fellatio. They have re-worded "Repeal of DOMA" into several different categories: 1. Domestic Partner Benefits for Federal Employees, 2. Equal Tax Treatment for Same Sex Couples, 3. Access to Survivor Benefits, 4. Coverage under FMLA, 5. Federal Benefits for Same-Sex Couples, 6. Federal Recognition of State Level Same Sex Unions. All this because Edwards and Obama are for the repeal of DOMA but Hillary isn't!

I'll leave it to you to guess why while one HRC keeps ignoring the fact that civil marriage is available in Massachusetts, the other HRC is opposed to repealing the law that allows for federal recognition of those marriages.

You have to double-check everything that comes out of an organization like the Human Rights/Hillary Clinton Campaign. There's always an agenda. And it usually isn't gay rights. (By the way, I don't think "mutual fellatio" is strictly speaking possible between Clinton and HRC. On either side.)
