Lisa Keen has a great article in PrideSource looking at which Democratic Presidential Candidates are getting LGBT dollars. She writes:
"In ten zip code areas with well-known heavily gay neighborhoods in seven cities, Clinton took in 51 percent of contributions made to the top three Democrats, as reported in the April quarterly report made available by the Federal Elections Commission this week. Obama raked in 39 percent, and John Edwards 10 percent. In Ann Arbor's zip code of 48104, Clinton took 68 percent of the money given to the top three Democrats, followed by Obama with 20 percent, and Edwards with 12."
It's always hard to tell just how much LGBT money goes to Democratic causes. Obviously we don't just live in those zip codes, we are everywhere. But unless you make it clear that your donation is from an LGBT Democrat, who's going to know?
