National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Executive Director Matt Foreman is a strong leader who really gets it. His Aug 13. comments to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, cogently and succinctly explain what our movement is about.
"We have sanitized and intellectualized our cause to the point of abstraction. Our argument is always about -- you know, you get a better dental plan if you're married. Stuff like that. But marriage is just a code word. The fight is really: Are we equal humans in society or not? The right wing goes for the gut and we respond in this completely sterile way, talking about academic issues like the 1,038 rights that are denied us. It's kind of like John Kerry in the presidential race."
Foreman is dead on. Our movement is one of morality that says that there should not be different sets of laws, with different standards for different people. If we are a free society all people will be treated fairly and equally. We are fortunate that Foreman has a gift for telling it like it is.

Foreman is doing a great job! He speaks the truth and we are very lucky to have him.
I think NGLTF is doing much better since they stopped hiring wacky leaders. They have kept their integrity, but left behind the silliness of commandos like Melinda Paras.
It may seem silly to use two-factor auth for a video game. However, with 12 million players, World of Warcraft is a big business Warhammer Online Power Leveling, and stolen accounts are worth money. Logging into someone else’s account, looting it for virtual money and supplies, then selling them on the open market can easily net $50 per account, more for particularly lucrative ones. What’s more, the account itself can be sold to offshore Warhammer Power Leveling“gold farmers” who have a constant need for accounts as Blizzard revokes theirs for Terms of Service violations. Considering that a stolen credit card number is usually worth only about $10, WoW accounts are actually pretty good targets for theft WAR Power leveling.
