A couple weeks ago I posted about why I do not donate to the HRC. One very good example of why I do not donate is the New Yorkers for Marriage Equality campaign they have been running recently.
I have no problem with the campaign itself, but they are only running this type of campaign in New York. What about Indiana where there is currently a bill working through the state to ban gay marriage in the state constitution? Or what about Colorado where there is currently a Civil Unions bill that has already passed the state senate and is now headed to the state house? What about all of those other states other than New York?
Why would I donate to an organization that does not focus on my needs? The HRC is only running this campaign in New York. I do not live in New York. In fact I would bet a lot of HRC’s donors do not live in New York. If the HRC is only going to focus on their narrow view of the world rather than focusing on the entire world then they do not deserve my dollars.
Do they deserve yours?
