: Kevin didn't pay "them" money. He donated money to the Matthew Sheppard Foundation, which has nothing to do with GLAAD. Get your facts straight.
Doh! My mistake, you are correct. I assumed they were the same org, I did some research and found that they are indeed two different special interest groups. I felt so guilty about assuming that I donated a portion of my future royalties to the Matthew Sheppard foundation myself.
: It sounds like extortion if you go by your warped and incorrect version of what happened. However, if you bothered to read about what *REALLY* happened (or listened to Kevin's interview on NPR where he went into this issue in detail), you'd have known it was not extortion.
I don't listen to NPR, sorry. It may not be exortion then, but it's a good arm twisting at the least. :)
Have a great day hombre!
