I sign this not out of hatred of Hilfy, or insult to DemPGH, but merely extreme skepticism in Hilfy's temperament in handling a job that represents us to the rest of the world. We have statute, and are party to international treaties and resolutions, that protect the rights of disadvantaged minorities, specifically LGBT individuals, to the extent that it impacts trade laws. Perhaps Hilfy could surprise us all and do a good job, but I have too many doubts at this time.
