Cheryl Jacques, president of the Human Rights Campaign whose political action committee mounted an anti-Bush effort this year has been asked to step down, several homosexual activists said yesterday.
The reported move comes after sharp election setbacks for advocates of same-sex "marriage," which was effectively banned by ballot measures in 11 states. President Bush's re-election despite HRC's "George W. Bush: You're Fired" campaign is the probable reason for a change in the group's leadership, which had been rumored for the past week.
"This election was cast as the biggest election of our generation, and we lost," said Wayne Besen, a former spokesman for HRC. "People are upset, they're hurt and they want some heads to roll."
Washington insider Hilary Rosen, former Recording Industry Association of America president, is expected to step in as interim executive director of HRC, reported the Advocate, a homosexual journal.
A spokesman for HRC yesterday declined to comment on the reports. "Things are still in motion," he said.
Washington-area Internet blogger Christian Grantham, citing sources connected to the HRC, was the first to report the shake-up, a decision he said was made Monday night by HRC board members.
The Advocate said it was not clear whether Ms. Jacques resigned or was fired from HRC, the nation's largest homosexual rights group. At its Advocate.com Web site, the magazine cited insiders who said Ms. Jacques was told to be "out of the building" by yesterday.

Cat fight.
Satans demons are eating their own.
Hmmm...those HRC initials look familiar...
Drama Queens
An anti-Bush lesbian? I don't get it.
[rimshot]
From what I have been reading Wayne, you will have to go to Canada or Europe to make them roll for those heads stated their disdain with the US and are leaving.
Perhaps if you lose the "cap" on the "b".....
The American public voted to kick the entire gay agenda to the curb, no amount of top personnel changes of these clowns will change that outcome of many states. Perhaps they can find more s e n s i t i v e alliances in FRANCE.
And by the way, Hollywood...your NEXT....
An anti-Bush lesbian? I don't get it.
ROTFLOL!
Your best yet!
I needed this laugh.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

How insensitive. They're acting just like cold-blooded Republican Party reptiles.
Something about this phrase is not right. How do we know that they are not "passivists"?
Human Rights Campaign, initials HRC...hmm, same as a
certain former First Lady who'll be running in '08.
Howie Carr refers to Jacques as "Cheryl Jacques, rhymes
with fakes" (because it indeed does rhyme with that).
Pledged to fight against then-Mass. State Senate
prez Billy Bulger but then became his toady... see below.
From the NY Blade: "Carr pointed to Jacques decision in 1993 to align herself with then Senate President Billy Bulger, whose brother is a reputed organized crime figure, after __running as a reform candidate critical of Bulger__ during her first election campaign. Jacques has said she had to work with the leader of the Senate to advance her legislative objectives, and her supporters say her decision to take a pragmatic approach to Bulgers old-style machine politics helped her push through progressive legislation that helped gays. Bulger later arranged for a more favorable district for Jacques in a legislative redistricting plan."
Ah, the old quid pro quo! So much for your "reform",
Cheryl!
We aren't supposed to question their sexual gymnastics. Just their chosen gender preference. :-)
No More Bush. LOL! HAHA

Petronski was on a roll.

Gun grabbing loser loses again!!!
