Exposé deconstructs DADT lobbying effort, shows inner workings of Gay, Inc. Not pretty.

I always find it fascinating when a reporter outside of the LGBT media looks at the inner workings of the movement. Ambreen Ali at Congress.org did just that, examining how we got to where we are on DADT repeal. (FYI: Congress.org "is a project of the CQ-Roll Call Group.") It's a long piece and worth a read:

    Many activists involved in the issue say a large part of the blame goes to the Human Rights Campaign, the most well-funded and politically connected gay rights group in the country. They say it did not act quickly enough, did not spend enough money on the issue and failed to pressure Democratic leaders to take action before the elections.
