LGBT

This Is a Very Bad Idea

People and groups are welcome to give money to whomever they please. But this seems very counterproductive and self-defeating given what the Republican candidate will do if he's elected.

Some leading gay and progressive donors are so angry over President Obama’s refusal to sign an executive order barring same sex discrimination by federal contractors that they are refusing to give any more money to the pro-Obama super PAC, a top gay fundraiser’s office tells me. In some cases, I’m told, big donations are being withheld.

The president will continue to promote LGBT civil rights. But between now and November there are certain political realities that need to be attended to in order for that to happen.
