The Dallas Principles: A Call to Action

Put together 20-some gay activists frustrated by LGBT "activst" organizations that aren't and by Democrats who promise progress but don't deliver, you get the "Dallas Principles."

These activists met in Dallas over the past weekend and issued a call to action and underlying principals, bedrocked on accountability:

"Success is measured by the civil rights we all achieve, not by words, access or money raised."

While I don't support all of the group's specific policy goals (federal hate crimes legislation being exhibit one), our movement desperately needs the type of thinking, action and philosophy that are embodied in the Dallas Principles.

I should add that I don't know that the reason this group assembled was driven by frustration as I state it above -- I may be projecting my own frustration -- but their call to action is precisely needed because of those reasons.

Full Civil Rights. No Delays. No Excuses.
