The Human Rights Campaign has designed t-shirts in the spirit of the pursuit for equality during the 2008 election season. The t-shirts show two of each of the icons of the respective political parties, donkeys and elephants, engaged in a kiss. The shirts encourage the GLBT community to vote in November.
"These shirts are intended to humorously persuade GLBT people—of either party—to vote and ensure they are represented by their elected officials," said Human Rights Campaign Creative Director Don Kiser. "GLBT issues have become increasingly prominent in the political process, and wearers of the shirts can further this in a light-hearted way."

“2008-3-0″,”Human Rights Campaign Mourns The Death Of Rev. James Orange”,”Social & Civil Issues,Issue Number,Mar 2008,Human Rights Campaign,Year”,”45″,”
Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign, offered the following statement today on the death of the Rev. Dr. James Orange. Rev. Orange was a prominent civil rights leader who fought to ensure that the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community remained on the forefront of the fight for equality.
Solmonese said:
"The GLBT community has lost a great ally and leader. From the time he was a young man, Rev. Orange demonstrated the passion and dedication to a vision of a nation free from hate. He continued that work until his death, and the GLBT community will be forever grateful for his efforts."
Rev. Orange was active in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference through the late 1970s, when he became a union organizer. Throughout his life, he served at numerous national and international labor and civil rights organizations, including the AFL-CIO and the People's Agenda for Voter Empowerment. He also supported the Bayard Rustin Breakfast, a GLBT component of the events surrounding Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
