This followed a specific request by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) for transparency. While NOM filed its form on November 14, 2010, it did not disclose the information publicly until the…
The 2010 midterm turnover of the NC legislature finds it now under GOP control for the first time since Reconstruction. Predictably this has produced a raft of bigots going right for the throats of the LGBT community.
