A few days ago I posted a statement from Donald Hitchcock, the former gay outreach director at the Democratic National Committee, announcing that he was suing the DNC. This is the DNC's response:
I'm Joe Sandler, general counsel of the DNC. Although we truly appreciate John's invitation to the DNC to post a public response to Donald's statement, now that Donald has chosen to bring this matter into court, for legal reasons the DNC is unable to respond to the substance of Donald's points outside the legal process. The DNC strongly believes that Donald's charges have no merit and the DNC is committed to defending its position vigorously in court. The DNC is certainly proud of the great work that has been accomplished and continues to be done under the leadership of Brian Bond, current director of the DNC's Gay & Lesbian Leadership Council. We regret that we cannot say much more publicly and do thank John for his offer. Also we ask that readers of this and other blogs and publications to keep in mind that since the DNC is not able to speak publicly about the case, everything you'll see may well be one-sided. I hope you understand why and ask that you take that into account.
