A noisy war with FRC would have diverted needed attention away from this goal.<br /><br />I hardly think that GLSEN was lazy or incompetent. And take it from me because I have done this long enough to know - it doesn't matter how far GLSEN would have taken it, the lie FRC told would be repeated anyway. That's what they do regardless of how many times the truth has been told.<br /><br />BUT I totally understand your point. The lgbtq community does need some type of organization devoted solely to taking these groups on and calling them to the carpet when they lie.BlackTsunamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349560427762283170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-78397373113780986272011-12-30T20:27:34.564-08:002011-12-30T20:27:34.564-08:00Re item 5: Brown's star has declined a great ...Re item 5: Brown's star has declined a great deal since the Washington Post ran a disgusting puff piece on him in 2009. That piece bent over backwards to emphasize how affable and "ruthlessly sane" Brown is, against all evidence to the contrary.<br /><br />Re item 4: You have this item completely wrong. GLSEN failed in its responsibility. It allowed FRC to escape with a silent "fix" that no one will notice. The lie that FRC told will simply get recycled again and again for years to come. I have already heard it told since the FRC video fracas. GLSEN should have demanded a visible and noisy retraction that would be first in all future google searches on this topic. They should have sued if they didn't get this. But instead, out of indifference,laziness or incompetence,they let FRC off the hook, thus ensuring that this lie will live on in the pantheon of anti-gay lies. You should have excoriated GLSEN, not praised it.Stevennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-77656858281802471932011-12-29T16:39:01.195-08:002011-12-29T16:39:01.195-08:00Well done.
