I haven't even seen a donation page.. did you look at their twitter? They are actually doing protests.

It's... on their website. At the top.

And protesting about what, exactly?

Transitioning of kids, the "affirmation model," and transition being used as gay conversion therapy.

So... Something most people are already against, something most people are already against, and something that doesn't actually happen?

What a waste of money and resources.

Many people are not aware of the harm of the affirmation model or the extremely dubious "science" behind transitioning kids. And if you really think transitioning of gay kids isn't a thing then I've got a bridge to sell you.

Where do you think money and resources should go, then? Raising public support for the LGB cause is fundamental.

It's not, lol, I've seen more straight kids indoctrinated it more than homosexual ones. Because being "cis" and "het" is bad. And most people ARE aware it's nonsense, believe me, it's just that in Western countries it's been deemed a crime to speak up. People are aware. So that's pointless.

No it's not, because it'd funding a literal lie. Why spend god knows how much money on propaganda for a fake idea (in this case: that lesbian, homosexual male & bisexual people are all magically connected, have rich history and "culture" and are a hivemind, and are also precious and need "saving") when you could be spending that money on caring for people who literally do not have a home or access to food? Or hell, if that's too much because you don't give a fuck about anyone who doesn't fit your idea of "a LGB" then how about funding ways for those of us homosexuals who suffer deeply with mental health issues? Therapy is terrible for sexuality right now because everything is affirmitive and tells you that you're "born this way" even if you want to die. I feel like I will never get better and I know I'm not alone.

Or what about gay male survivors of rampant gay sexual abuse, pedophilia, and prostitution? Do you have any idea how damaging that is for boys (or how damaging sexual abuse is in general?) It's not easy to cope with and again, a lot of therapists are shitty, especially if they find out it's a "gay thing" and they start parroting their pro-LGBT "everything is fine, love is love, be fabulous" unhelpful nonsense. Or they might take the "sex positive" side and insist that the abuse some of us have suffered isn't really abuse, but "empowering."

There are literally infinite better ways to use that money than "visibility" and "spreading the word." Throwing stacks of cash down a toilet is probably more beneficial to someone than that is.

It's just disgusting, as a person who has suffered relentlessly because of my sexuality & the way I have been treated because of it, because of how men have treated me and how the gay community turns a blind eye to abuse & people who are suicidal and want a way out. But I guess that's hardly new, the same reason most people would rather hoard their riches than donate even a fraction to those in need.

At the risk of sounding like a twitter SJW, these "LGB organizations" are run by privileged people, for privileged people. As usual, those of us who are misfortunate or even just from a different country get trampled over.

These sound like issues for other social movements, like subsidized mental health care, food and housing, and not LGB ones.

Ok this sounds like a really good cause for us to take up, for sure. What would you like to see an LGB organization do about this?

Are you angry that a political organization in another country funded by people in that country is focusing on issues specific to that country instead of on yours? That does not seem reasonable to me.
