The backlash is running. Since GetEQUAL refuse to see the flaws in their plan to heckle the First Lady, other gay activists are calling them out.
Yesterday, I saw that a petition was made for GetEQUAL's leaders, Felipe Sousa-Rodriguez and Heather Cronk to formally apology to the First Lady Michelle Obama:
Last Tuesday night a lesbian couple invited the First Lady to speak in their home. The speech was on the importance of the future of our children. GetEQUAL.org sent an activist to heckle the First Lady during her speech.
Even with an overwhelming number of requests from members of the LBGT community demanding GetEQUAL apologize, Co-Directors Felipe Sousa-Rodriguez and Heather Cronk refuse to do so. Although they state they understand the First Lady is NOT an elected official, they consider her one.
GetEQUAL is a fringe organization that is in danger of hurting any forward momentum the LBGT has achieved and will hope to achieve in the future.
Ellen Sturtz, Felipe Sousa-Rodriguez and Heather must apologize for their inappropriate behavior, immediately!If you are interested in signing, the link is here

This is a terrible petition and I'm outraged that any LGBT person would post it and promote it. You are doing nothing less than stifling direct action and promoting the idea that direct action will "hurt forward momentum," which is an outrageous and completely baseless idea.
We need more direct action. We need to be shouting at our leaders more often.
This is total misplaced anger by the LGBT community -- you realize that people are being FIRED for their sexual orientation, right? And you're angry at the ones who are actually bringing this conversation to the forefront?!
I should start a petition that tells LGBT quislings to stop knifing in the back the people who are actually holding accountable the ones in power who are delaying our equality.
Apology accepted here.
And another person decides to vent their view whilst hiding behind the moniker of "anonymous".
Oh please.... your fury and thunder would be a lot more palatable if you have the COURAGE to match your supposed convictions.
You and your getequal like-mindeds are morons with no view on what REAL change is or HOW it is enacted.
Stay home. Don't go out. And don't say anything on our behalf. You lower our IQ's when you do.
I'm signing it.
