Pride Media Owner Donates (Again!) To Anti-LGBTQ Politicians

What the hell…?
Adam Levin, owner of the parent company of Pride Media – which publishes The Advocate and Out – has been caught donating to anti-LGBT republicans. From Wil Kohler at Back2Stonewall:

OpenSecrets, a website that tracks political donations, shows that Levin, gave $2,800 each to two extremely anti-LGBT Republican Senate incumbents North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis and Montana Sen. Steve Daines.

In 2018, Levin who happens to be straight was busted about his previous donations to anti-LGBT Republicans Devin Nunes, Dean Heller, Josh Mandel, and Dana Rohrabacher and pledged never again to donate to anti-LGBT politicians.

OpenSecrets shows no record of Levin’s support for pro-LGBT candidates this time around.

Senators Tillis and Daines both have abysmal records when it comes to LGBTQ rights and protections.

The Human Rights Campaign scored both senators at zero in the recent Congressional Scorecard. Both refused to support the Equality Act and other pro-LGBTQ legislation but voted in support of anti-LGBTQ judges and cabinet members.
