This is a serious question.

Bitcoin needs to be attached to more positive things.

How could btc be used to directly benefit the gay community?  How could btc lead the way in this area of civil rights?

Let's try and keep this thread positive please.  If you have issues with gays, this is not the place to have those discussions.

Bitcoin will probably not help gay people specifically because bitcoin empowers both the rich and the poor nearly equally.  Economic inequality is not a problem for the gay community and gay rights groups are not economicly persecuted like wiki leaks and other free speech groups.  The gay community is looking for legal equality and that is mostly a political endeavor not an economic one.  This is not saying that a group like the HRC would not benefit from taking Bitcoin donations, it just won't help them more then a conservative group doing the same.
