Don’t Forget the Gays

Posted by on September 2 at 14:34 PM

In this morning’s New York Times, there was an extensive list of charities accepting money to help hurricane victims. In addition to the Red Cross, there were Catholic, Lutheran, and Jewish specific organizations, among others, presumably raising aid for their own communities.

Now, I get an email from the folks at the National Youth Advocacy Group, the folks who stand up for LGBT kids. They’ve started a fundalong with a dozen other groups like Family Pride and the National Center for Lesbian Rightsand yep, it’s “directed toward LGBT youth and families affected by the hurricane.”
