I was thinking about the subtitle title of this post, Stand Behind Your Donations... and I started thinking about the various celebrities that make their living off the queer community. So I started to look into who donated and who sat on their ass.
The biggest disappointment for me is that none of the cast members of The L Word gave a penny to the fight against Prop 8. Not a one. Not the queer cast members, not the straight ones who have been happy to take their paychecks for playing gay straight to the bank. I checked everyone who has ever been a series regular in the 5 seasons it has been on the air. That is a really big ->-bleeped-<-ing disapointment to me. The only one who donated was Ilene Chaiken. While her portrayals of bisexuals on her show often make me want to scream and bash my head in with a rake, at least she supported her friggin' community.
But moving on...
