turns out the gay lesbian organizers of no on prop 8 weren't so dedicated.

The Advocate has published a searing new report (see, we say nice things from time to time), revealing that over the summer Lori L. Jean of the L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center went on vacation for a month and Geoff Kors of Equality California left for two and a half weeks. In a self-published QnA released last night, Jean puts the blame on the community by saying:

But rather than campaigning and working to raise money, Jean was on vacation. No on 8 leaders have routinely blamed the loss on a lack of funds due to the gay community's apathy, but this is naive. The first step in any good political campaign is to motivate your base, something No on 8 leaders failed to do. "When is the time to finger point?" says Michael Weinstein, founder of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation. "After we lose again?
In addition LGBT leaders from the black & latino community are hopping mad they were never included in the No on 8 campaign. Jeffrey King, executive director of In The Meantime Men’s Group, a South Los Angeles outreach organization for gay black men told the LA Weekly:

so basically, the actions of the mormon church aside, I'd say the members who ripped themselves and their families out of the religion they grew up in over this have shown more sacrifice than the self absorbed nobs running the show.


real nice.
