Thank you, Matt Foreman
For saying things that shouldn't need to be repeated so eloquently:
Why have we all worked so hard together and in such a dramatic way over this issue? For over a decade, the Task Force, and increasingly our organizational colleagues, has re-embraced transgender friends, family and colleagues as part of our community and part of our movement for freedom and equality. We believe the social disapproval and punishment of LGBT people varies only by degree. Yes, we can be fired if we identify ourselves as lesbian, gay or bisexual. But it isn’t always about who we love; sometimes it’s about a refusal or inability to disguise ourselves - “pass” - as heterosexual.
The freedom to express ourselves and be ourselves is at stake.

That is all. On to the to do list for my actual job.
