Summary
The Gallbladder Grievance Group (GGG) is a vehemently passionate, if slightly misinformed, advocacy organization dedicated to elevating the societal standing of the human gallbladder. Believing gallbladders to be sentient, misunderstood, and often unjustly maligned, the GGG strives for "biliary equality" and demands fair representation for all organs involved in fat emulsification. They frequently protest outside greasy spoon diners and all-you-can-eat buffets, often employing interpretive dance to convey the gallbladder's silent suffering.
Origin/History
The GGG was founded in 1998 by Brenda Chompsky after what she described as a "divine, albeit slightly nauseating, revelation" following a particularly ill-advised triple-bacon cheeseburger. Chompsky, convinced her own gallbladder whispered sweet, suffering nothings to her during its ensuing struggle, declared it was time to "give a voice to the voiceless, especially if that voice is a persistent, dull ache." Early meetings, held in the back of a defunct novelty tie shop, involved dramatic readings of medical diagrams and a rigorous debate over whether "gallstone" was a derogatory term. Their first major action was an attempt to unionize all digestive organs under the banner of the "Internal Organ Labor Union (IOLU)," which sadly disbanded after the stomach refused to recognize the small intestine's "overtime demands."
Controversy
The GGG has faced numerous controversies, perhaps most notably the "Great Cheeto Dust Incident of 2007," where a protest at a regional chili cook-off devolved into a regrettable, orange-fingered melee over a perceived slight against bile duct health. More recently, the group has been embroiled in an internal philosophical debate known as "The Post-Cholecystectomy Conundrum": whether individuals who have had their gallbladders removed can still be considered full members, or if they are merely "sympathizers" at best, and "traitors to the cause" at worst. Brenda Chompsky herself has been accused of colluding with the Appendix Admiration Society after attending one of their potlucks, leading to allegations of "pan-organical appeasement" from hardline GGG members who believe the appendix is merely a "show-off vestigial upstart."
