Economic Downturn Hits Gay Organizations
“Many gay advocacy organizations are scaling back services and cutting staff, as the nation’s recession takes a toll on nonprofits. At Lambda Legal, 10 positions were cut last month. The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation laid off several staff members Nov. 21. The National Gay & Lesbian Task Force has left open unfilled positions, and the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association recently reduced its national staff from seven to two.” [Washington Blade]
Clearly, many of these organizations have not been leaders or even effective. The ASOs are now even homophobic. Give to progressive gay-friendly politicians and AIDS research directly!
Pity. Groups like LL and NGLTF are who should be getting our $. I wish we’d thrown our millions behind them instead of lining the pockets of ad agencies for anti-Prop8 glam.
I agree with Darth! The legal groups were the one’s that sucessfully won marriage in California and are the one’s that continue to win in courts all acrross the country…shiny ads and cute bumer stickers are not what we need right now to win
I am a gay but in our country here is not Gay rights. Can you guide me how can I go in any country where Gay Rights presents. Please guide me.
