Donald Hitchcock's discrimination lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee takes a new turn today. A predetermined schedule ordered Gay and Lesbian Leadership Council board chair Claire Lucas to testify, but the investor refused to comply. Lawyers explained to Lucas that if she does not take the stand, she'll be found in contempt of court. The former National Stonewall Democrat director, however, continues to stand her ground. She is not being represented by DNC lawyers.
Testimony began yesterday with current homo honcho Brian Bond, who took over as executive director of the GLLC after Howard Dean and company sacked Hitchcock. Hitchcock alleges the firing came in retaliation for boyfriend Paul Yandura's criticism of the party. He also claims the DNC paid him less than his peers and has since blasted them for using gay people as an "ATM".
DNC CEO Reverend Leah Daughtry will testify on January 18.

Claire Lucas has spent years trashing other people behind their backs, and it's finally coming back to bite her in her ample rear. The DNC should dump her and cut a deal with Hitchcock, and everyone should move on.
BTW, "investor" is a euphemism for "it's grandpa's money". Lucas doesn't actually contribute anything to the economy herself.
Only Republicans attack the DNC and the Democratic Party with such hostility. So whats up? Who hasn't gotten fired? Grow up. Move on. Invest that bitter venom towards what true "advocates" do…fight Republicans - and not the hand that feeds you. And forget getting a job of similar title and status - no employer likes a cry baby!
I agree with BD - move on. Fight the Republicans - not the DNC.
It feels like this lawsuit is about revenge, bitterness and greed to me. I don't like it one bit.
Are you kidding me, Brian Bond is a JOKE. What they did to donald is not only wrong but really bad press.
The only thing Andy S got right is that this is really bad press -the only kind Paul and Donald are going to get. They are working overtime to create the 2008 version of "Watergate" - the only difference is that "Watergate" was about politics - this about sound and fury signifying nothing.
It's hard to keep track of all the "legitimate" news outlets Paul and Donald have attracted to this story - I keep checking the Post and the Times - but nothing. Go figure? - so I apologize for being redundant.
What PR firm did Paul and Donald hire to re-write the same fable from last week? It's obvious Paul was trying out the new digital camera Donald gave him for Christmas. Are we going to see 15 more articles like this one for each witness walking to the deposition? Why no pictures of them leaving the deposition? (Paul was probably at the Gym.)
We have learned 2 things from reading the second installment of this cartoon (a P&D Production!) is that "PageOneQ" has nothing newsworthy or relevant to offer the gay community; and that Donald's acting lessons are paying off - I have never seen a more Oscar worthy impression of a sad, lost puppy dog.
One more thing - Claire Lucas may have a personality disorder, she can be rude, divisive and is tolerated only in very small doses…BUT! She understands that "advocates" work to promote a cause that benefits many - unlike Donald and Paul (or is it Paul and Donald?)who advocate for themselves and their own personal gain.
Ms. Lucas has raised millions and millions of dollars as an advocate for LGBT causes - tragically, Paul and Donald believe that money belongs to them - they deserve it for the pain and suffering they have had to bear. If this action was really brought about to expose and illicit change within the DNC - how will giving the hard earned money raised by true advocates
benefit the cause? It's time as a community we begin to see this for what it is…all roads lead the Donald and Paul's bank account. How will that help any of us? Oh yeah, it's not suppose to. One last thought (promise!) Beware of the wolf in sheep's clothing. Stay tuned.
I see the DNC hacks (BD) have popped up mindlessly defend the bigoted idiots again.
How fucking self-loathing must you be to continue to mindlessly support a political party which has passed NO gay rights legislation at the federal level EVER, and which takes GLBT support 100% for granted.
The brainless twits who mindlessly defend these actions show how they're able to get away with it.
Pathetic!
"I agree with BD - move on. Fight the Republicans - not the DNC."
Well, dumbass, when the DNC behaves like the Republicans behind the scenes they DESERVE to be attacked.
Trent - do the Log Cabin Republicans pay you by the hour or are you on contract.
"Claire Lucas may have a personality disorder, she can be rude, divisive and is tolerated only in very small doses…BUT!" Dear God, this is from a Lucas ADVOCATE! ROTFLMAO!!!
"BD" is a Log Cabin at heart, no doubt about it. Dumb, schizophrenic, self-loathing, and desperate to be heard.
Mostly dumb, though.
HAVE YOU READ THE LAWSUIT?
THERE ARE NO DAMAGES SPECIFIED.
So let the mindless and spineless DNC hacks keep their attacks on two people that we should be thanking for having the balls to stand up for what is right and expose the deception and hypocrisy of some in our party. TIME TO CLEAN THE DNC HOUSE.
Rene - please post the amount of money you have raised or donated to support the Democratic Party or the LGBT commuity…Claire's can be found in campaign reports…and please no more name calling. It reflects poorly on the trailer park of your childhood.
Let's keep the negative personal attacks about members of our community out of this discourse. It lends nothing to the cause of being constructive. Regardless of the merits of the case against the DNC, none of it has anything to do with Claire Lucas. She contributes her time and money as a volunteer, and has never been in a decision making role at the DNC. Furthermore, she has given countless hours and dollars in helping to move our cause forward. We should hold ourselves to a higher standard and not throw around character insults against someone who is a cherished friend to many of us and a valued leader within our movement.
Here, Here DF79…I wish Donald and Paul were as wise as you…(and me!)
