Disincentive Fundraising

(Or: Oh my god, words!)

As you may or may not have read, I quit smoking. While no longer cool and sophisticated, I am happy with this decision. I have not bitten anyone’s head off yet, nor have I thrown anything out the window. Hooray me.

As part of this, I have agreed to donate $5 for any and every cigarette I smoke in the next six months to Focus on the Family, a horrible organization that supports right-wing nutjob candidates and opposes LGBT civil rights. This is to serve as a disincentive to smoking, after hearing about the idea from a co-worker.

I asked for suggestions for other organizations to donate to and my two (least) favorite are Liberty University & One Million Moms. Now, I ask for your help in helping me choose:

Liberty University

  • Law School Dean Matt Barber… said it is “so offensive to me” and his many African American friends that “sexual anarchists” have “cynically co-opted and hijacked the language of the very, very noble civil rights movement and applied it to their disordered lifestyle.” (Via)
  • Founder Jerry Falwell preached that segregation was the Lord’s will, supported South African Apartheid, and opposed Nelson Mandela’s release from prison. (Via)
  • They plan to become doctors, researchers and professors, but these students from Liberty University, an evangelical school, also believe that God created the Earth in a week, around 6,000 years ago. (Via)

One Million Moms (In its own words:)

  • This is a HUGE Victory! The ABC series “666 Park Avenue,” which is known for its controversial title and satanic content, will not be renewed. Glory to God.
  • Send your email letter to Oreo (Kraft Foods) now! Ask that they remain neutral in the culture war versus promoting the homosexual agenda.
  • Please send DC Comics (Warner Bros. Entertainment Company) and Marvel (Disney) an email urging them to change and cancel all plans of homosexual superhero characters immediately. Ask them to do the right thing and reverse their decision to have sexual orientation displayed to readers.

So, which should it be?

    I’ve decided to go with One Million Moms. Congratulations, One Million Moms, on being the lucky loser in this challenge....
  4. circuitboardseahorse answered: Oh god. They both look terrible, but One Million Moms looks slightly worse. Go for that one.
  5. theradicalmiracle answered: If you choose Liberty, earmark it to the Theatre department which is a somewhat queer-safe space (according to a friend there).
