Readers of this blog are probably not surprised that I'm supporting the boycott of the Human Rights Campaign's San Francisco Dinner. What you might find surprising is that I'm supporting my friend Diego Sanchez, in speaking at the event. I'm also supporting the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) nationally, now as a member.

Last October Representative Barney Frank said:
"It's partly because some of the people who are now lately to this fight weren't there helping us through the lobbying. "
