Chances are you don't know the name Tim Gill. I want to change that. Consider him the homosexual George Soros.
Gill, a Denver-based software tycoon (founder of Quark), is perhaps the most powerful force for homosexual activism in American politics.
In 2006, Gill and his allies spent nearly $1.4 million setting up a bogus pro-life group, Coloradans for Life, to attack Marilyn Musgrave, three-term congresswoman from Colorado. She was a lead sponsor of the original Federal Marriage Amendment. She has a 100 percentpro-life voting record, but that didn't stop Gill from funding lies. All to turn the election. It nearly worked; Musgrave survived, winning by less than 3 points. The same can not be said in other states.
Between Gill's efforts and those he's recruited, he's helped produce Democratic majorities in state legislatures in places like Oregon,Colorado, Iowa and New Hampshire.
Now, he has taken his strategies nationwide, and pro-family forces have a fight on their hands. Gill is a self-described introvert who rarely speaks publicly, he shuns the media spotlight.
In 1994, he formed the Gill Foundation, investing huge amounts of his fortune to seed gay-rights organizations in all 50 states. One, in particular, enjoyed spectacular growth. The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network(GLSEN) swelled from a group run out of an apartment to the leading gay-activist group in America's schools.
By 2001, according to USA Today, Gill Foundation donations to homosexual-rights organizations around the country represented 20 percent of their annual budgets. As of this year, the foundation has made grants of well over $115million, making Gill far and away the leading funder of the homosexual movement. Gill launched training seminars around the country to help the organizations sharpen their message, hone their efficiency and raise money more effectively.
It's Gill's strategy that we must understand. Instead of simply pouring money into high-profile campaigns for Senate or Congress, he puts much of his money into local races in an effort to shift control to gay-friendly Democrats.
In 2006, Gill and his cadre of allies carefully targeted a total of 70 state and local races in a dozen states. Gill's targets were chosen either because of their outspoken leadership on traditional marriage or because knocking them out could help switch a legislative chamber to Democrat - and thus gay-friendly - control. Price tag: $15,000,000.00
So what has change in Gill's original target of Colorado? A law allowing homosexual couples to adopt children. A statute that completely redefines the family in Colorado. Any two or more people living together as a single household can be legally considered a family. Colorado joined Iowa and Oregon in passing a homosexual nondiscrimination law. Although a late amendment exempted religious organizations, the law could force Christian businesses to hire homosexuals, bisexuals and "transgenders."
Ladies and Gentleman, meet Tim Gill......
