Human Rights Campaign National Dinner Protested by SJW Zombies

The Human Rights Campaign National Dinner was protested on Saturday night at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC  by a small group of social justice warrior zombies from the groups No Justice No Pride, GetEqual and the Trans Woman of Color Collective.

A statement released by No Justice No Pride stated the protesters dressed as zombies to “reflect the horror done by HRC partnering with a monster like Wells Fargo.”

In June, at the Pride Parade, we targeted Capital Pride’s willingness to sell our communities out to harmful corporations. Today, we’re targeting HRC’s willingness to do the same.

For decades, the LGBT movement has cast aside the most marginalized in pursuit of ‘equality’ for the most privileged members of our communities. Our hope is that No Justice No Pride’s actions begin to wake the LGBT establishment up to the fact that there is a new generation of trans and queer folks with bigger, broader and more radical dreams of liberation. Dreams inspired by the lives of our ancestors — like Sylvia Rivera, Marsha P. Johnson and Audre Lorde — which are fundamentally incompatible with entities like Wells Fargo.

Said Lourdes Ashley Hunter, executive director of the Trans Woman of Color Collective

We have had enough of the juggernaut non-profits profiting off the lives of black bodies, brown bodies, indigenous bodies, undocumented bodies: Fuck HRC! Now more than ever it is important for our voices to be heard. We cannot continue to let these organizations represent us. They don’t represent us, number one, and we know that.

They represent their capitalist interests. They represent their white, cis gay pajama parties, they represent everything that liberation is not standing for. And so we’re here today to not only say ‘fuck HRC,’ ‘fuck Wells Fargo,’ well fuck everybody who paid $400 to come up in here and continue this shit.

As many of you know who have followed me the past 8 years, I have no love for the HRC but also I have no respect for No Justice No Pride, GetEqual  and their ilk.  Both sides are equally guilty of being self-centered and self-serving  on the  issues facing the LGBT community. Both sides are selfish and non-inclusive. And both sides have also lost sight of our original mission which is full civil rights under the law for all of us.

Valerie Jarrett To Speak Tonight At The HRC National (Starfuck) Dinner Inappropriately Themed "No Excuses"

Uncategorized, , , , ,

The HRC will be holding its annual hoity toity dinner where the gay bubble butted elite will  have dinner and rub shoulders with Bette Midler (How could you Bette), Pink and the cast of Modern Family while LGBT Teens are being bullied and committing suicide, and  LGBT adults are being harassed, beaten and and perhaps murdered.   In a year where we were lied to by the Obama Administration and cast aside and The HRC itself sold out the LGBT Community in exchange for some White House Cocktail Parities and Movie Nights and  not care enough to fight for the removal of DADT and DOMA and fight tooth and nail for EDNA,  The HRC has the NERVE to name tonight’s soiree “No Excuses”

Obama won’t be at tonight’s dinners.  Perhaps he doesn’;t care.  Or maybe he’s afraid of being heckled once again..  But time in his stead Valerie Jarret will take the stage to make more excuses and to cover the Democrats asses and will also touch on the recent epedemic of LGBT teen suicides.

 Politico: has an excerpt of White House adviser Valerie Jarrett’s remarks tonight.

“Recently, we’ve all been shocked and heartbroken by the deaths of several young people who had been harassed and bullied for being openly gay – or because people thought they were gay. It’s a terrible tragedy. And it has turned a harsh spotlight onto an issue that often doesn’t get the public attention it deserves: the struggles of LGBT youth, the enormous pain that too many experience as a result of bullying, and the desperate, tragic decision by some young people who feel that their only recourse is to take their own lives.
No young person should have to endure a life of relentless taunts and harassment, just because they’re gay. On behalf of President Obama, I want to make clear that this administration is firmly committed to working with you and other advocates. For we all have to ensure that we are creating an environment in our schools, our communities, and our country, that is safe for every person, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.”
Stop defending DADT and DOMA in court. Stop the DADT discharges now. Start doing something, anything, on getting ENDA passed and DOMA repealed, like you promised. And, if the President isn’t too busy calling more female basketball stars, maybe he could be bothered to make even one phone call to even one Senator on DADT repeal.

You see Valerie, and perhaps you should relay this to our “FIERCE FUCKING ADVOCATE” that by NOT standing up LOUD and FORCEFULLY for our rights you send a m\essage that we are less than others.  By defending DOMA and not striking it down you send the message that God doesn’t like gays getting married and neither does our President and our country.  By not fighting more forcefully and standing up to those who stand in our way of getting DADT repealed you tell people that we are not worthy to fight and die for our country.  And by not pushing EDNA through Congress forcefully you make it seem that we are so fucking inhuman that we don’t DESERVE the same rights as everyone else. (But you have no trouble taking our taxes)

And as for you HRC.  HOW FUCKING DARE YOU!.  How dare you name this disgusting display tonight of PR and starfuckery “No Excuses”  Is it “No Excuses because you have NONE for your inept handling of the issues these past 20 years, or do you have “No Excuses” because you believe that you are so fucking above us all that we don’t deserve excuses on how you fucked the LGBT Community/? Remember HRC is the one that told our community that this President had a plan, so we should all just STFU. HRC is the one that told us that this year DADT would be repealed. So where is it? Where’s the plan? Where’s the repeal? HRC’s President asshole, Joe Solmonese, famously emailed his members that we should all give President Obama until 2017 as if he will make it past 2\012.
SO FUCK YOU HRC and FUCK YOU JOE SOLMONESE.  And FUCK ALL YOU PRETENTIOUS A LIST GAYS THAT STILL SUPPORT THIS THIS INEPT DINOSAUR OF A “CORPORATION”. 
Oh yeah.  Enjoy the party…….assholes.
