Griffin apologizes on behalf of HRC to transgender community

Human Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin apologized to the transgender community during a speech in Atlanta last Friday, expressing regret over the group's decision to back a non-trans inclusive version of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act in 2008. During his keynote address at the Southern Comfort Conference, Griffin acknowledged his role in causing the divide between HRC and the trans community. 

"What happens to trans people is absolutely central to the LGBT struggle. And as the nation's largest LGBT civil rights organization, HRC has a responsibility to do that struggle justice," Griffin said.
