8. In a nutshell, we flip out.

That's precisely what the LGBT community did. We stormed social media, cancelled our HRC memberships, and threatened to protest the HRC's own functions in response to its obeisance to power.

We made sure the President of the HRC felt very, very uncomfortable wherever he went. We disrupted his staged photo ops.

In short, the community very vocally made it clear that we were not afraid to declare our own self-appointed leaders the enemy if they would not carry our banner in a way that benefitted us rather than themselves.

They got the message awfully fast. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. The HRC was practically under siege from its own people.
