Looking through the long lists of subject lines about how out of touch HRC is and how HRC screwed over trans people and how HRC didn't deserve anything...

...I kept thinking "what the fuck did Hillary Rodham Clinton do to piss off the gays this time?"

Please make sure the vitriol ends up where it belongs.

1. Yeah, good point. HRC is generally reserved for "Human Resources Creep".
I've known enough of them.

2. And for those of us are who dyslexic, we wonder what Health Care Reform has to do with anything.

3. I know, I know.
First I thought there was some provision of Health Care Reform that was being extra nasty to the GLBT community (I don't know how that could be managed, as the health system in this nation is so broken that everyone is pretty much shit out of luck.) Affluent white males might do a bit better than others, but for the rest of us, we might as well be facing the Inquisition in the 1600's as to try to get some reasonable approach to staying healthy.

Then I thought, well, maybe Hillary made everyone in the gay community mad.

Then I googled and found the real meaning of HRC.
