The Moderate Republican

Cheryl Jacques, You're Fired!

Well, it appears that Cheryl Jacques, the head of Human Rights Campaign, that national gay rights group, has been given the pink slip.

I think it's about time. She did a poor job as head of HRC. She was so partisan that HRC declined to endorse Republican Senator Arlen Spector of Pennsylvania, a friend of gays and chose to endorse his Democratic opponent. Also, while they did work hard to prevent the dreaded Federal Marriage Amendment, HRC did not place much emphasis on the states where these issues were also coming to head.

Let's hope that HRC get a leader who doesn't think the strategy for gay rights is simply electing more Democrats and starts to fight hard for gay unions and not simply playing defense.
