I have mixed emotions because in some ways I feel fil-a-hate is getting way too much air time and in other ways I feel we need the awareness to spread about where their money is going.
I watched a video a while ago posted on the Advocate website. They were filming at a fil-a-hate in Hollywood, just blocks from where I once worked. Pat Boone even showed up. The people they interviewed were all ignorant and hateful but they certainly didn't see themselves that way. It was pretty grim.
They have a right to spend their dollars where they want to, just like we do. The difference is they are supporting a company that funds anti-equality causes and hate groups. It's quite clear there is plenty of homophobia and anti-gay rhetoric springing up over this and not about just someone's personal beliefs about marriage.
