Several LGBTQ organizations wrote a letter to GLAAD's president urging the group to abandon a push to pass an amendment enshrining LGBTQ rights in the Constitution.
HuffPost reported Friday that a letter signed by the Human Rights Campaign, National LGBTQ Task Force, National Center for Transgender Equality and others urges GLAAD President Sarah Kate Ellis to cease efforts to advance an amendment campaign and instead engage with local advocacy groups to support their efforts.
While we certainly believe that the challenges facing the LGBTQ community require bold action, we also believe that advancing an amendment campaign is a harmful approach to our community, reads the letter.
GLAADs campaign has lacked meaningful engagement with the broader movement representing the LGBTQ community ― particularly state and national organizations that would be responsible for doing the work to pass such an amendment ― and presents a serious risk to the communitys work at the state and federal level," it continued.

No. We have Italian privilege. That means when some SJW irks us with charges of being a racist, homophobic, misogynistic, islamaphobic hater, we get to make a phone call and two guys with necks bigger than their heads meet our accuser and break both his legs.
ROFLMAO!!!!
You’re paesano then, I assume? :)
Thanks, man. We can call your organization the American Association for Stout Mature Italian-American Guys (AASMIAG, for short).
ROFL!!!
I think that goes without sayin’. Jus’ sayin’, noam sayin’?

My ancestors are primarily from around the North Sea. As such, I must have lots of Italian ancestors, from when Italians ruled Europe. So, yeah, I’m with you!
