On Alito, It’s HRC vs. HRC.

The homepage of the Human Rights Campaign prominently features a photo of Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito, which links to HRC's rather dismissive assessment ("The Alito Record-Negatives for Gay and Transgender Americans"). [Editor's note: modified since originally posted.]

But interestingly, if you follow the press release links you find Alito's 1971 Gay Support Raises Hope, citing this AP story.

Is HRC of two minds? Or perhaps the big homepage-linked item is red meat for the membership while the press release is meant to help divide Alito from his conservative backers, which would explain this pickup of HRC's release by the religious right's CNS News. Or maybe I'm just being churlish.
