&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this endeavor, all roads lead to the Human Rights&lt;br&gt;Campaign, which controls the federal legislative agenda on LGBT issues, which&lt;br&gt;appears to be satisfied with the status quo: &lt;br&gt;the White House says they are building support for the measure with no&lt;br&gt;evidence to substantiate these repeated mantra; no Congressional hearings have&lt;br&gt;been held in a number of years; no public education efforts by HRC have been&lt;br&gt;launched in using compelling stories of those who have suffered job&lt;br&gt;discrimination; and no serious lobbying efforts by HRC have been launched to&lt;br&gt;schedule a vote in the Senate, which has a decent chance to win a whipped vote&lt;br&gt;and create a public record of accountability.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In reviewing the workplace issue landing page of the Human&lt;br&gt;Rights Campaign website, information about the ENDA measure is buried and&lt;br&gt;requires two additional clicks to access it. &lt;br&gt;Clearly, ENDA does not have a visible priority at HRC. Maybe just maybe the&lt;br&gt;bigoted HRC will take on this task if they get more money and drop transgender inclusiveness&lt;br&gt;from the ENDA bill.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Janice Covington</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:44:52 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Hannah Thomas Trio with Don Dixon &amp; Jonesalee</title><link>http://goqnotes.com/calendar/index.php?eID=4599#comment-775344203</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Jonesalee had to cancel, Hannah will be joined by Don Dixon and Jamie &amp;amp; Steve&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Dyellowlees</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 22 Jan 2013 21:52:46 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Charlotte Black Gay Pride Women's Workshop: Safer Sex Talk with Spoken</title><link>http://visitgaycharlotte.com/calendar/index.php?eID=3526#comment-771109400</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Any new tantra workshop?&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">סדנת טנטרה</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 17 Jan 2013 13:42:55 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Imperio LeColours Diversity Sundays @ DREAM NIGHTCLUB in Matthews</title><link>http://visitgaycharlotte.com/calendar/index.php?com=series&amp;sID=30686b1ae54356111#comment-759256022</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Quite a experience I had so much fun there this sunday its a must go place everyone its friendly and very open minded great job keep up the good work &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Adlf86</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 07 Jan 2013 14:53:43 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Imperio LeColours Diversity Sundays @ DREAM NIGHTCLUB in Matthews</title><link>http://visitgaycharlotte.com/calendar/index.php?com=series&amp;sID=30686b1ae54356111#comment-758663915</link><description>&lt;p&gt;A few of my friends heard about it and decided to stop by.

I can tell you that I was there and we did not get saved as it would appear. While I don't know if the comments on here are planted or actual, I can tell you that we went out there ready to protest. &lt;br&gt; We walked across the street and the 10 of us were met by a large group that came out to the side walk. They were nice and welcoming. However they still have their beliefs, as do we. Our intention is to locate Flip Benham and stand against him when we are given that chance. Fire church is a completely different group. They have strong opinions on the gay community but at least they are not standing on a cross shaped box yelling with a bull horn. I will stay friendly with this group as long as we both can stay civilized, but will stand up for my marriage at all costs. If you have any questions, please email me, Jeffenochs@carolina.rr.com.... On another note, My partner and I had dinner with Dr Michael Brown and Pastor Scott Volk to talk about our differences last week. While we didn't change any opinions, we were able to get our stance on the issues out on the table. I look forward to setting up a time when the community can meet these two gentlemen and express our view points in a civil environment. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jeffenochs</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 11 Sep 2012 15:07:51 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Peaceful Protest of Fire Church in Concord</title><link>http://goqnotes.com/calendar/index.php?eID=3666#comment-639864215</link><description>&lt;p&gt;if you are interested in connecting further, spydre, we'd be happy to meet you.

&lt;p&gt;I don't think FIRE imposes its beliefs on anyone. They aren't advocating Christian Sharia at all. In fact, just the opposite. They're worried about the INtolerance from the LGBT community. They actively preach "hate the sin, but not the sinner."&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Voiceofreason</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 28 Aug 2012 16:18:15 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Peaceful Protest of Fire Church in Concord</title><link>http://goqnotes.com/calendar/index.php?eID=3666#comment-629961028</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I want to hear more about this Jesus&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">spydre</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 26 Aug 2012 18:12:38 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Peaceful Protest of Fire Church in Concord</title><link>http://goqnotes.com/calendar/index.php?eID=3666#comment-629785989</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Even I would be welcome there? &lt;br&gt;It would be an honor to meet Scott Volk and Dr Brown. I'm beginning to see light as very attractive. &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jaybea</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 26 Aug 2012 16:19:39 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Peaceful Protest of Fire Church in Concord</title><link>http://goqnotes.com/calendar/index.php?eID=3666#comment-629776310</link><description>&lt;p&gt;It appears to me that Scott Volk and Fire Church worships in spirit and in truth.

&lt;p&gt;Do you protest other religions and their gatherings? If not then you are cherry picking the bible. Commandment number one "thou shall have no other Gods before me" Why are you not going after the Buddhists, and the Hindus? You say love is your guiding principle I ask you is it love to impose your religious beliefs upon others? The Muslims in many parts of the world believe they are showing love by imposing sharia law upon their citizens. We can all live together in peace if you begin to view and treat gay people and our gatherings as you view other religions and their gatherings. If you can not do this then there will not be peace because we will not be treated as second class citizens and have your christian sharia imposed upon us.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Matthew S McCoy</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 26 Aug 2012 05:51:15 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
