"A war has begun within the LGBT community dividing advocacy groups from community and funders from recipients.
One of the largest backers of the LGBT agenda, the Gill Foundation, cut off the ACLU because of their unfaltering backing of laws regarding transgender people's access to public accommodations. The timing of this couldn't be worse as the case involving Gavin Grimm, the 17-year-old Glouster high school student, will be ruled on by the supreme court in 2017."

I'm not too fussed about Gill withholding it's funds from ACLU, they funded to the tune of $15,000 in 2001, given that the current ACLU budget runs $130 million I don't think the loss of something like .01% is a worry.

Also given they're joining with log cabin on this it's fair to say we're not talking about the core of the lgbt movement. This was status quo in 'LGB' community 20 years ago, today we're mostly recognized as equals.
