Verizon lent abused homos a helping hand today. The telecommunications giant offered Gay Men's Domestic Violence Project a $75,000 grant to expand its hotline coverage from Massachusetts into Rhode Island and Connecticut. GMSVP director Curt Rogers said:
The Verizon grant is significant for several reasons. It expands a model program into other states, and it provides a lifeline to gay, bisexual and transgender male victims currently without access to services. It also raises awareness among other corporations that domestic violence is a critical issue that impacts everyone.
Yes, even you: statistics show that one in every four gay men will face abuse from a lover.

I'm glad to see they're doing "something" I worked for them for 6 years (10 if you count the 4 I worked there before Verizon bought out GTE). They put a homophobic woman with no previous experience in as manager (she was having an affair with the married president of our region). In our call center she fired every gay male manager within 6 months and hire only straight people. When I filed a complaint of discrimination I was unemployed 8 weeks later.
