GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) is following in the footsteps of the NRA (National Rifle Association), ironically enough.
The NRA and Wayne LaPierre got whacked for the misuse of funds.
In the first stage, jurors in February found LaPierre and others liable for years of financial mismanagement, including the bankrolling of an extravagant lifestyle for LaPierre that included luxury travel and expensive clothing.
A top LGBTQ organization spent big bucks for its chief executive officer to take pricey flights, stay in ritzy hotels and summer rentals and even dropped nearly $20,000 on her home-office remodel, a damning report alleged Thursday.
GLAAD’s spending on CEO Sarah Kate Ellis, 52, was so extravagant that it worried its former chief financial officer and could have potentially violated IRS rules, according to a New York Times report that dug into payments between January 2022 and June 2023 and other documents.
Aside from the fact that it seems that all organizations, once they get to a certain amount of income, inevitably become corrupt (see BLM as an example—the allegations were dismissed, of course), it’ll be interesting to see if GLAAD gets the same handling as the NRA did, especially considering that both were incorporated in New York.
Betting not….
