Gay Funded Study Finds Exactly What It Wants

In what only can be described as shocking, a new survey reveals that anti-gay hate crime is completely out of control:

Nearly four in 10 gay men and about one in eight lesbians and bisexuals in the United States have been the target of violence or a property crime because of their sexual orientation, according to a new study.

Before we continue, and out of sheer curiosity, who commissioned this survey?

Data collection for the study was supported by a grant from the Gill Foundation, a Denver-based organization that supports equal opportunities for people regardless of sexual orientation or gender expression.

What/who is this Gill Foundation that's being spoken of? Great question, let's Google them...

The Gill Foundation, established in 1994 by software entrepreneur Tim Gill, seeks to secure equal opportunity for all people regardless of sexual orientation or gender expression. The Gill Foundation is the nation's largest funder focusing primarily on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender civil rights.

The Gay & Lesbian Fund for Colorado was established in 1996 as a program of the Gill Foundation.

Remember, The Gill foundation seeks to secure opportunity for *All people* regardless of sexual orientation.

Now, let's have a boo at who is considered *Funding Priority* at the Gill foundation:

The Gill Foundation considers grant applications from national and statewide lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) organizations (in states other than Colorado), working to ensure equal opportunity for all people regardless of sexual orientation or gender expression.

I'm sure they just forgot to add the word heteronormative on the Grants page, because the way it stands right now, it seems awfully discriminatory.

Well, I'm sure the foundation itself hires non-gays, I mean, they are against discrimination of all kinds, and even in the survey which they themselves commissioned, a large % of gays say they weren't hired because of their sexual orientation, right? Let's count how many straights there are on the Gill Board. This will prove that the Gill foundation leads by example:

Urvashi Vaid was elected to the board of directors in September 2004. Widely recognized for her work as a gay rights activist and leader

0/1. That's okay, I'm sure the next two will be raving hetero's:

David was the first openly gay partner of Goldman Sachs and the most senior openly gay person on Wall Street at the time

I'm not giving up hope, the next guy looks totally straight:

Tim and his partner Scott Miller live in Denver, Colorado

I'm excited with all the diversity at the Gill Foundation.

Getting back to the survey, I'll save you some time: Every gay has been abused in one form or another. I know what you're thinking, you're thinking, I never discriminate against gays, my friends and family don't either, how is it possible that all these gay folk are being abused so much? First of all, get those thoughts out of your head, what are you, some sort of homophobe? Stop thinking how, and start asking what can we do as a society to help these tortured souls:

"These data highlight the continuing need for criminal justice programs to prevent and deter anti-gay crimes, as well as the need for victim services that will help to alleviate the physical, economic, social and psychological consequences of such crimes," Herek said.

More grants by gay foundations to *Doctors* to prove the prejudice against gays to secure more funding to The Gill foundation to give to doctors for more studies. Oui?

Now that's gay.
