From their FB page,

Equality North Carolina is your voice for equal rights and justice in state government.
Equality NC is a statewide group...

dedicated to securing equal rights and justice for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people. We work toward that goal by effectively lobbying the North Carolina General Assembly, executive branch, and local governments on issues like employment discrimination, hate violence, privacy rights, sexuality education, adoption, domestic partnership, HIV/AIDS, and more. We also work to engage North Carolinians with educational programming and outreach efforts.

Just who are these Secret Donors?

Dear XXXXXXXXXXX,

On September 13, 2011, one year ago today, North Carolina legislators chose to enshrine bigotry in our state's constitution when they put Amendment One on the ballot. Today, one year later, we are taking an important step to make sure something like this never happens again in North Carolina.

On behalf of the board and staff of Equality NC Action Fund, I am proud to announce our endorsements for the North Carolina General Assembly. Representing all regions of North Carolina, these equality champions have proudly stood with North Carolina's lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community while serving in office or have pledged to do so if elected. Statewide and judicial endorsements will be released next week.

Please CLICK HERE for your 2012 Equality NC Action Fund Voter Guide.

How can you help? First, please be sure to share these endorsements with everyone you know through Facebook and Twitter. Second, make sure you and your pro-equality friends are registered to vote. And most important, don't forget to vote on November 6. If there was ever a year to vote for LGBT equality (and against those who discriminate), this is certainly it!

Finally, help us elect these pro-equality candidates. PLEASE DONATE GENEROUSLY to our Action Fund Challenge right now! To sweeten the pot, a very dedicated group of generous donors are matching all gifts to Equality NC Action Fund by 50% up to $60,000!

It was personal. It was payback. It was politics. Let's never let it happen again. Let's keep fighting for equality together. Thank you for your vote and thank you for your donation!

Fighting for pro-equality candidates,

Stuart Campbell
Executive Director

PS: Don't forget to support pro-equality candidates by giving to our Action Fund Challenge right now. Thank you!

So just who are these generous donors who will only give after Equality NC raises certain amount of money..  This is GayINC in action..

Just how many on this list will stab us in the back once in office???

Equality NC put out their list of endorsements today. I decided to check the party affiliation of the candidates. Not surprisingly it's 100% Democratic. When they Dems were in power, though they weren't perfect, they gave us the LGBT inclusive anti-bullying bill. As soon as the GOP took power, they gave us the discriminatory amendment 1.

GayInc forces ITLM off Air, Why???

In the Life is a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) television newsmagazine that is broadcast on PBS. Premiering on June 9, 1992, it is has been longest running LGBT television program in history.

Their Tweet

ITLMedia Thank u for 20 years! Dec will be our last broadcast. Learn more about our new direction: bit.ly/Q5Du2a

On Wednesday, September 5, In The Life Media announced that the December 2012 broadcast would be the last. In a statement posted on their website, ITLM says it will work with other organizations to create a web-based archive of historical videos documenting the LGBT rights movement, enhancing the organization's online presence and hopefully broadening its reach.

I can only guess those in the “gayinc” circle no longer want to support this time of work. or the folks at ITLM group won’t simply, blindly follow Gay INC anymore.. May be these folk have seen the true GayInc agenda and its not pretty.. So lets all thanks Gay INC for this..

Children should't be subject to life long medical choices

Very interesting statement, which I'm sure the #transinc community will claim to be Transphobic.. in natural. There is nothing bias ...
