organization apply to be a beneficiary this year
or express any interest in applying to be a bene-
ficiary this year," Ray said. "We affirmatively
modified our mission statement at the begin-
ning of the year to be more inclusive, and the
beneficiary application process was open to any
GLBT-supportive nonprofit organization serv-
ing North Texas."
Ray was unavailable for further comment.
Transgender activists allege that the police
presence in Houston was designed to minimize
their numbers and was evidence that the
protests are hurting HRC financially, a claim
which the organization denies. Busey, one of
about 10 who participated, said police outnum-
bered protesters by two-to-one.
"It was pretty much overdone, I think,"
Busey said.
Victor Senties, a spokesman for the Houston
Police Department, declined to say for security
reasons how many officers were present.
"You never know what's expected," Senties
said. "When there's a protest, you don't know
how many people are going to show up."
Senties also declined to identify the party that
contacted police.
Tere Perry a spokeswoman for the Hilton
Americas-Houstont said she was unsure
whether it was hotel staff.
"I'm not avoiding the question; I just don't
have the answer," Perry said.
Perry suggested that some of the police offi-
cers may have been in the area for other events
near the hotel, which included the dedication of
a park and a professional sports outing.
"It was a big weekend in downtown
Houston, so those folks [the protesters] may
have gotten stuck in something they didn't
know was going on," Perry said.
Transgender activists also say they were
escorted out of the Hilton-Americas when they
went inside to hand out stickers and other mate-
rials.
But HRC's Thomas said he witnessed the
incident and that wasn't the case.
"At no time was a person escorted out of the
building, and no HRC officials interacted with
any protester/' Thomas said. "Unfortunately,
erroneous information was spread by a small
number of activists."
