GAY MONEY
We used to talk, in the old days, about marking all our money with purple triangles or just writing 'gay money' or something on the bill.
That way, the hetero-inclined would 'get' how much 'the gays' contributed or participated in the economy and in their lives.
This method was used during WWII in cities that had 'trouble' with sailors and discriminated against them. They paid in script stamped as 'Navy money'.
The gay initiative worked for a time and then the novelty wore off and it was on to the next thing.
Now, there is a different way to use money to leverage gay rights.
Here is an example:
There is a Gay agenda.......Winning Elections
They figure that gay money had to do with upsetting at least 5 of the GOP-ers who thought it was OK to pander to the christists.
Back in the day, we ended up giving all our charitable donations to GLAD, a gay legal services group in Boston.
Some of our money found its way toward the initiative that ended up in the Massachusetts gay marriage bill.
Money talks. Bullshit walks.
