Frank Bruni talks about HRC's new international advocacy initiative largely funded by conservative, hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer, who has a gay son


Read Frank's piece in the NYTimes about this latest international initiative to spread the gay rights movement throughout the world.  Frank Bruni writes this about Paul Singer:

In this case, he was announcing a new project to be funded, at least at the outset, by him and other conservative donors but to be run by the Human Rights Campaign, an L.G.B.T. advocacy group in Washington, which is much more closely affiliated with Democrats. The initiative will be dedicated to fighting the victimization of gays and lesbians internationally. But it will also show that there are Republicans — not a majority, but an increasingly impassioned minority — who are intent on progress and justice for L.G.B.T. people. 
I welcome the money and support of Republicans for in the struggle for LGBT equality as long as they don't try to hijack our movement and impose their Ayn Rand-ian values of selfishness and cold-heartedness on us.
