My open letter to the HRC. What you have become and why you no longer have my support.

Never really posted on Reddit before, but felt so impassioned lately by the Clinton endorsement and the HRC's response to being called establishment (30 years lobbying-- that doesn't make you establishment), that I Had to share. Here it is in its entirety."To whom it may concern,I would like to promptly be removed from your mailing and Text message alerts systems. I no longer support your non-profit as it no longer supports my vision. The current endorsement of Hillary Clinton was the straw the broke the camel's back. She and Bill, while now being advocates and strong ones for the gay community, have nothing compared to the support of Bernie Sanders. The only member of congress to have advocated for full LGBT rights from his earliest days in office.It is clear that the HRC is and has decided to side itself with the wealthy establishment side of the Democratic party that thankfully is dying off and being replaced with a new strong Progressive majority. A majority dedicated to what is the core cause of all ignorance and strife, an unaccountable wealthy class that oppresses and divides the lower poorer classes.I am a gay male from a poor rural, WASP background. I have fought on the front lines to have even the slightest voice. The HRC was a beacon growing up that gave a glimmer of hope to those of us that never thought being accepted was possible. But now that organization has become fat off the new superpac world we live in, pandering to wealthy donors and politicians a like. And we all know that had the Republican party stayed secular, the HRC as it is now and it's selfish endeavors would now be a Republican lobbyist group.I do not support the elitists, rich white-man and I sure as hell do not support elitists, rich, GAY white men. The HRC no longer supports diversity or equality. Instead it has decided to support mediocrity and the status quo. Siding with the socio-economic behemoth, instead of fighting with your constituents.The majority of the GLBT community is not wealthy, is not influential. We are poor, we are working to make the bills. We are suffering at the bottom with so many other HUMANS that you should be supporting. HUMAN rights, are the rights to a livable wage as a single person. HUMAN rights, are the rights to live without fear of knowing you have money to pay rent next month. And with that noted, we finally have a candidate that has been fighting for this all his life and your ignorant management team sides, instead, with a candidate that accepts millions from the very same companies that for years fought our causes. Wall street is on no ones side.It is this poor lack of judgment by your management team that I now write to have my name removed from your mailing list and to revoke my support. This decision does not come without a burdened heart, but It is time for a new group of humans to rise and take over where you have failed. I put my hope and future in their hands, not in those of a group that would keep the status quo and endorse tax dodging corporations and politicians. The same corporations and politicians that we fought so hard against to get our rights.Sincerely,J. G."
