HRC - Not For Me!
Okay, so we all may or may not be tired of hearing about ENDA and the HRC's virtual abandonment of the T in GLBT. We may or may not still be outraged by it. However, I've noticed a lot of people are pretty disappointed and disillusioned when it comes to the so-called Human Rights Campaign. So I had an idea.
I thought about opening a Cafe Press shop selling items with messages (like this) expressing our disappointment in the HRC. As you may or may not know, Cafe Press shops are basically free, but of course Cafe Press gets their cut of the sales. All other profits go to the shop owner. I really don't feel right profiting off of this kind of thing, so what I would like to ask of all of you is names of preferably national organizations that better serve the ENTIRE queer community that I could donate the profits of sales to.
Also, I suppose I'd like opinions on whether or not you think this is a good idea and whether or not you've heard of somebody else doing something like this.
So please comment. I'd really like quick feedback if I'm actually going to do this.
Cross-posted every-freakin'-where. Sorry if you see this multiple times (if you get annoyed by that sort of thing).
