Microsoft paying Religious Right leader Ralph Reed $20,000 a month retainer

AMERICAblog.com has learned that Microsoft is currently paying a $20,000 a month retainer to former Christian Coalition head Ralph Reed’s consulting firm Century Strategies. Which now begs the question of whether Reed was in any way involved with Microsoft’s recent decision to abandon its decades long support for gay civil rights in order to curry favor with anti-gay bigots of the radical right.

You can find copies of the invoices here:

• Six months of payments to Ralph Reed’s Century Strategies.
• Detailed April invoice for $20,000 to Century Strategies.

This is a hoax, right?

I know I should get over my twitching at that use of "begs the question" and move on, but I just can't. :/

I know Microsoft treats its queer employees well, but I still think they need to grow up and stand on two feet and say that this social issue that they want to ignore is a civil rights issue.

actually, msft was paying reed back before 2000, iirc, for lobbying help about the federal lawsuit.
