Taking the Keys – And The Checkbook – Away from Gay Inc.

I've come to the conclusion that it is time for people to rethink our entire way of doing activism.  This goes for Gay Inc, it goes for Transgender Inc and in many ways for Activism Inc.

Too often it seems as though filling out a donations slip at the end of a link is the only form of activism the people in these major organizations want from those of us out in the hinterlands.

And once the transfer has been made we are forgotten.
