One of the big lies - there are so many it's hard to keep track at times - routinely peddled by the Christianist organizations is that the "militant homosexual activists" are better funded than the poor, pathetic outgunned Christianist organizations. It's a scam, of course, utilized to scare little old ladies and severe self-hating closet cases to send in their checks or make their online donations so that James Dobson and those like him can live high on the hog. The truth is that all of the gay rights organizations combined operate on a shoe string budget compared to the combined funding of the Christianist organizations which is truly massive. Tips-Q has an interesting report that shows just how big this Christianist lie is based on the latest reports compiled from IRS filings. Here are a few highlights on some of the most homophobic organizations:

Suffice it to say, I suspect you get the real picture and will have an appreciation as to how much money the anti-gay industry takes in by demonizing us and trying to depict us as less than fully human. It's disgusting to say the least.
