HRC on State of the Union 2005

The Human Rights Campaign sent Pres. Bush a letter containing some suggested statements for his then upcoming State of the Union address.



Sadly, but as expected, he did not heed their advice. The HRC has now issued a response to the speech. In the HRC's view, the bad news was the renewed call for a constitutional ban on marriage for gay couples; the good news was the call to reauthorize the Ryan White CARE Act; the concern is that the government will continue to bar full dissemination of information regarding HIV.
