3. Hmmm...looks like the HRC has been hearing from the hoi polloi
Edited on Fri Dec-10-04 09:04 AM by Plaid Adder
They've put out a statement:

http://www.hrc.org/Template.cfm?Section=Press_Room&CONTENTID=24412&TEMPLATE=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm

"For example, regarding Social Security, the Congress will be considering Social Security reform. The debates will be both substantive and partisan. HRC intends to use that debate to promote to the country the fact that GLBT people do not have a majority of the social security benefits enjoyed by most Americans right now if we cannot designate a beneficiary to the monies we have earned. We will not be used as a partisan tool and have taken no position to support privatization. Rather we will focus on the need for equality."

Course, they don't say they aren't ever going to support it, either.
