Too much merchandise and parties and lobbyists and fund raising ... and no strategy for equality. Doesn’t HRC have better things to be doing?

Too much merchandise and parties and lobbyists and fund raising … and no strategy for equality.

That is insane! I'm no expert, but I would think the banks should be falling over each other to lend to gay couples... Two-Income-No-Kids... hello?... and in half the cases Two-[Male]-Incomes-No-Kids. This is the first that I have ever heard of this happening. Thank gawd for Barney Frank.

All we care about is making as much money off of you as we can. If we don't lend to you, we don't make any money.

Apparently Barney has decided that rather than one bill that addresses many categories of discriminition, like the Americans with Disabilities Act that covered employment, public accomodations, public employment and public programs all at once, we're going to take sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination one nibble at a time. Private employment this year or next, then credit. Housing and public accomodation will probably be in 5 years, followed by public employment and public programs many years after that. By the time we have them all done it should be 2030. That's real nice. Super.
