On one LGBT-related blog that I regularly read, there is currently a debate about whether people in that community should withhold donations from the DNC and HRC due to the relative lack of progress on queer issue since Obama took office with a Democrat majority. Here in an overview of the various blog posts: http://pamshouseblend.com/diary/1669...-and-the-gaytm
I have mixed feelings on this. Apparently the plan for those who are withholding their donations to the DNC is that they will instead handpick pro-equality candidates to give their money to. This seems like a good strategy at first glance, but on the other hand as one blogger points out in the first post listed there, the RNC will be receiving millions upon millions of donation dollars from groups that are actively opposing equality-related issues. And it is better, I suppose, to have a political party in power that ignores you rather than one that is actively trying to screw you over.
Thoughts?
