The Gay Mafia That’s Redefining Liberal Politics - TIME article

Fascinating Article. I don’t agree that the gay dilemma is a “civil rights” battle but … It’s interesting to me that some have adopted the very tactics they decry.
That raises questions: What does a civil rights movement look like in an era of massive wealth? Can you still inspire a grass-roots movement when all the street troops know that the billionaires can just write bigger checks? And is it possible that the left has become a movement as coldly obsessed with money as it always assumed the right was?
[From The Gay Mafia That's Redefining Liberal Politics - TIME]
A lesbian activist, who I would consider a friend but haven’t talked to in a while, once told me, “When it comes to gay activism all you need to know can be found in ‘The Art of War’ by Sun Tzu and by following the money.” She went on to say that gay porn had funded a lot of things. I never found evidence that would back that up. The above article seems to suggest that the money, today, is coming from tech efforts and heirs of fortunes. Anyway, it is an interesting article.
