Report from Gannon panel in Philly - organizer lied again, and moderator cut off discussion of Gannon even though she promised it could be raised

Well, what a surprise. The organizer of the entire Equality Forum, Malcolm Lazin, reportedly outright lied to a blogger last night, saying he had no idea why Pam and I pulled out of the conference - yeah, no idea since he was involved in the entire 5 days worth of emails back and forth on the topic and even agreed with us. Dude, if you're going to lie to people, don't leave a 5-day paper trail of emails to disprove it.

Secondly, we heard that Michael Rogers, who was on the panel, did raise the Gannon issue, and what happened? The moderator cut him off. This was the same moderator who told Pam and me that we were free to talk about GannonGate in our responses to any questions.

What a bunch of frigging liars. For some reason they still won't admit, the Equality Forum wanted to give Gannon legitimacy last night at any cost. They lied to me, they lied to Pam, they lied to strangers on elevators.

What a pitiful organization. I'd never heard of them before, and I certainly hope I never hear of them again. There has to be somebody else to give your money to than a pack of homophobe-defending liars.
