		<description>Yeah, Steve, I'm wondering if they are hoping the whole things blows over.

Of course, what is a real concern is that if this doesn't reach the level of the national media, if it stays just under that radar, it is &lt;em&gt;still&lt;/em&gt; on the radar of the news-writers of the religious right. 

Our only hope (imo) is to draw big attention to it and hope that it's one of those things that the religious right can't use because it's so well known how discredited the "study" was.

I'm getting really sick of the HRC not picking up on stuff like this and running with it. That's where most gay folks put their money...

I hate it that the gay community often sits around until it is too late, and then just "reacts" to whatever comes next. In other words, they won't do anything to actively fight this and discredit it nationally, but when it's used against us down the road and it gets embedded in other research, or politicians start using it against us, &lt;em&gt;then&lt;/em&gt; we'll be in a huff about it, when it's too damn late. I wish as a community we were much more proactive instead of reactive.</description>

		<description>I wonder if there is someone else to make aware of this? Maybe they don't read their mail?

If there was some organization (like COLAGE but maybe bigger or more politically powerful or who held sway in the scientific community) that issued a statement about it, or maybe if the news got a hold of it, then they would be forced to respond?</description>

		<description>It's as if they've suddenly disapeared off the face of the earth.

I have received nothing but two form-letter responses. I have one more letter to send. If there's no response within a reasonable time, I'll make it an open letter as well, along with a selection of the others.

I can understand why they might ignore my notes. Technically, I have no proper standing. But ignoring yours, well that's really baffling. Your book is at the very heart of Cameron's "research".</description>
