$300 Million can do incredible damage to not only the Democratic Party, but to the LGBT community. The Republican Party remains viscerally opposed to equal rights for LGBTs. If you think sitting on your wallet is helpful to our community, you are simply wrong. I realize not every Democrat is perfect and some are downright wrong on our issues. This is why I urge the DNC to create an LGBT fund. Allow us to contribute to the DNC while knowing our money won't support candidates who do not support us. In the mean time, it is not time to hold back. We are too close to our goals to allow the Conservatives to take over. Don't misunderstand me, I remain frustrated that the progressive agenda is still just out of reach, but this is not the right time to turn off the gAyTM.
Joe is telling the truth.

That's right.
In MI there used to be (may still be) a BGLT PAC to support any candidate who supports our issues. This has the virtue of not making either party take us for granted and could encourage moderate Repub's into our corner.
Of course, it doesn't address issues of tangential interest ("big gov't" or "state's rights") that GBLT's may disagree on.
