Gay Conservative Swiftboating of the HRC: Part II

ATTACK ON THE LOGO - a malicious doing?:

Entrepreneurs and Fortune 100 CEOs understand that their company logos are the public face of their businesses and are valuable corporate assets. Misuse of your company logo by others will harm your company’s name and good will.
