UPDATE: I missed the part of the NYT story (but Pam saw it) that reports that the White House is allegedly spinning their Stonewall Anniversary party as a kind of "Cinco de Mayo or St. Patrick party," where I presume everyone gets stone drunk and wears silly costumes. This is how this White House sees our civil rights, this what they think Stonewall was all about? An ethnic beer party?

When the White House needs a token homosexual to give them political cover for stabbing gay Americans in the back, there's one name apparently at the top of their list. Jennifer Chrisler, executive director of the Family Equality Council.
Ms. Chrisler has confirmed to the New York Times that she is proudly going to the hastily arranged White House cocktail bash next week, organized after the community uproar over Obama's Justice Department comparing us to incest and pedophilia.
Ironically, and rather hypocritically,
But none of that got Chrisler and the Family Equality Council down. She showed up in the White House last Wednesday to sell our community out and give the president gay cover. And now Chrisler is doing it again.
I'm sure Chisler, as she sips her champagne and eats her fancy French hors d'oeuvres to commemorate the gays and lesbian who rioted for her civil rights 40 years ago, will do her best to hold the president's feet to the fire.
Please.
These people are pathetic. You should see her quotes in the article, how she wasn't satisfied by the "limited benefits" provided for in the memo the president signed last Wednesday. Yeah, real unsatisfied - that's why she stood over him clapping like a giddy schoolkid, providing him the political cover he needed at a time that our community needed her.
I seriously hope someone looks into who the donors are for this apologist organization. No gay person should ever give a dime to the Family Equality Council again. Ever. And the same goes for any other organization that dares to give this White House political cover when the president refuses to even apologize, to even distance himself from that hideous brief.
Note to the Family Equality Council: Last time I checked, shrimp and champagne were not on the gay agenda.
