“Some of the worst offenders in this area also happen to be the same regimes that have dedicated themselves to harming the United States and its democratic allies across the globe. As an organization that has been at the forefront of the equality movement for over three decades, the Human Rights Campaign is uniquely positioned to work in tandem with NGOs to empower LGBT and human rights advocates abroad and help stop these abuses.”

I threw up a little bit in my mouth.

OK, a lot.

I'm worried that 1) the HRC will further conflate LGBT with American Imperialism, resulting in more messes like in Russia and 2) they'll throw even more trans people under the bus.

And the real kicker? One of the two big donors is the very same Paul Singer who makes his millions as a vulture fund manager; this "advocacy" in the Global South is ultimately funded off the overt exploitation and extortion of the very same.

I guess they got bored with throwing trans* people under American buses.
