I have to confess that this e-mail was the first I’d heard about this, but I’m glad that someone is protesting.

Keep the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) transgender inclusive.
PROTEST Human Rights Campaign in Sheridan Square November 20th at
6:00 PM on the Transgender Day of Remembrance.  (See demands below.)

As you know HRC lied
to its members, donors, the transgender community and other LGBT
organizations who overwhelmingly supported the trans-inclusive ENDA or
no ENDA at all. What’s worse is at THE BEGINNING of the debate, HRC
told committee members that is they voted AGAINST the inclusive
version of ENDA but only supported the sexual orientation only ENDA
they would get a free pass and it wouldn’t reflect on their
legislative scorecard. Not only did HRC lie to the LGBT community and
press by claiming they were fighting to keep ENDA inclusive while they
had been quietly telling congress-members and staff to just vote for
the non-inclusive bill since Sept, but last week they threatened a
handful of brave Democrats who were going to vote against the version
of ENDA that came to the floor unless transgender protection was
restored. Now since we know Bush was going to veto whichever version
was passed, this action would not delay ENDA being signed into law.
HRC is now going to give a black mark on the 7 brave congress people,
4 from NY Clarke, Nadler, Weiner & Vasquez, for doing HRC’s job by
raising the bar on equality.

PROTEST in Sheridan Square November 20th at 6:00 PM on the
Transgender Day of Remembrance. Aside from paying homage to Sylvia
Rivera and Marsha Johnson, two transgender veterans of the Stonewall
Riots, HRC is having a Women’s Networking event at the Stonewall Bar
across the street. We will also be protesting HRC and demanding,

1) the 7 Congress people who voted against ENDA to raise the bar on
Equality should get the highest score possible for their vote.
2) HRC set a goal of 10% transgender representation for it’s national
board and all local steering committees.
3) HRC Executive Director Joe Solomnese MUST RESIGN!

Solomnese has lied to the community and the straight and LGBT press.
He has been duplicitous. He has intentionally undermined the efforts
of the majority of LGBT organizations working on ENDA. Joe Solomnese
no longer has any credibility as a leader in the LGBT Community to
represent our needs. He is no longer a trustworthy person we can look
to as a leader. Joe Solomnese must resign from HRC.

I’m very excited about a new porn that is coming out. It stars a former Babeland employee and is directed by a current employee. I have no doubt that it is going to be absolutely hot. It’s called Trans Entities: the Nasty Love of Papi and Wil. It stars two trans people and has interviews, shots of daily life and sex scenes all intermingled. The really cool thing is that the sex scenes were shot without direction so you’re getting the real deal.

The release party is This saturday (November 17) at 10pm at Mix Festival in NYC.

Here’s a description from the director:

Papí and Wil are a perverted, loving, polyamorous couple
who identify as Trans Entities, a word they have coined to
describe their gender identity.
Armed with his camera, Morty Diamond set out to capture
this couple in a multifaceted way, from revealingly personal
interviews to fun nights out on the town. The three sex
scenes in this movie, including one with a third partner,
were shot completely undirected, allowing the viewer
an engagingly raw look into their uninhibited exploration
of role-playing, BDSM and lots of hot fucking.
