We don't have an official affiliation with EAA, though of course we encourage any individual or organization working for LGBT equality to post. We had some technical issues in November which made the submission form not working. Maybe that is where you got the idea that we are not open? It's fixed now. Post post post! So though I'm sure you had the best of intentions, it seems all 3 of your statements are factually erroneous. @Brian the original #4:

It is NOT an open source for the LGBT Community, as they have advertised. They are also affiliated with EqualityAcrossAmerica, the organization that delivered that little March in DC. Both organizations look like they are about to fold. ActOnPrinciples.org censors postings and comments. It is NOT an open source for the LGBT Community, as they have advertised.

You cannot change their votes or their minds. They have a "religious" objection to homosexuality and for nearly all of those Senators their constituencies also believe homosexuality is wrong. We spend a lot of time and money trying to change votes, when the real effort needs to be changing minds. Christian minds.

Is it weird that she is the Sponsor of Irritable Bowel Syndrome legislation but she can't find the time to sign on as a cosponsor on HR 3567. Are irritable bowels more important than your GLBT constituents Congresswoman Lee? Do we have to get your face on TV at a public appearance to get you to support us?

Are irritable bowels more important than your GLBT constituents Congresswoman Lee?

Do we have to get your face on TV at a public appearance to get you to support us?
