Via JMG: HRC Head Chad Griffin: Obama Should Consider LGBT Successor To Eric Holder
"Some Attorneys General wait for history, others make history happen.
Attorney General Holder made history for the LGBT community. He was our
Robert F. Kennedy, lightening the burden of every American who faces
legal discrimination and social oppression. We owe him a profound debt
of gratitude for his legacy of advocacy and service. President Obama
faces a historic opportunity in light of Attorney General Holder's
departure. The President has expressed a commitment to appointing a
cabinet that reflects the full diversity of the American people, and
there are many richly-qualified candidates available to serve as the
first openly-LGBT cabinet secretary. It would be a natural extension of
this administration's enduring commitment to equality to send a message
of visibility and inclusion by nominating such a candidate to serve in
this historic role." - Human Rights Campaign Chad Griffin, via email.
