Promoting Perversion Pays - Professional Homosexual Activists Draw Massive Salaries

By Peter LaBarbera

Well, folks, if you ever doubted that homosexual activism (and AIDS "prevention") is big business, those doubts will be erased when you read this story in the homosexual newspaper Washington Blade. This newspaper of record for homosexuals in the nation's capital has published the salaries of the CEO or ED for the 30 largest "gay" and AIDS organizations (although the ACLU's Gay and Lesbian Project is not listed). Also listed in the article are:

• the organization's annual revenue (FY 2008);
• the staff size (full-time/part-time); and
• the total pay package of the CEO and the percentage it makes up of the group's total revenue

I was stunned - as someone who gets chided by "queer" activists all the time for working professionally in the pro-family movement - at some of the huge homosexual CEO salaries.  Here are just a few of the top "gay" salaries:

• Joe Solmonese, Human Rights Campaign: $338,400;
• Lorri Jean, Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center: $327,000
• Neil Giuliano, GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation): $271,034;
• Eliza Byrd, Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network: $283,644;
• Chuck Wolfe, Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund: $220,000;
• Kevin Cathcart, Lambda Legal: $290,916;
• Matt Foreman [former E.D.], National Gay and Lesbian Task Force: $192,540
