Quotes of the Week:
“What should have been one of the most triumphant days in our movement’s history is not. It’s one of very mixed reactions. And that in and of itself is extremely disappointing.”
— Matt Foreman, Executive Director, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
New York Times, November 7, 2007
“This would be a much tougher conversation if ENDA was moving into law. It's not moving into law. It would take a miracle for us to move it through the Senate, and the White House has always said Bush would veto it. That’s what’s made this entire episode so confounding and painful and inexplicable.”
— Matt Foreman, Executive Director, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
San Francisco Chronicle, November 8, 2007
“It is very unfortunate that the House leadership is moving the first-ever gay civil rights bill to the floor and the vast majority of gay rights group oppose it.”
— Matt Foreman, Executive Director, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
Associated Press, November 6, 2007
“We’ve been disturbed for quite some time at the very disparate and contradictory treatment of Senator Craig and Senator Vitter. You have Senator Vitter, when he returned to Congress, he was received with thunderous applause, and Senator Craig was treated as a pariah. What message does that send? A man having sex with a female prostitute is OK? But a completely nonsexual episode in a restroom is just horrific? What does that say about the Senate's values?”
— Matt Foreman, Executive Director, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
