New Gay Social Network Encourages Promotion and Support of Gay Friendly Companies and Organizations
GayWallet.com launches as a social network of LGBTQ people and straight allies who are committed to supporting companies that support full and equal rights for everyone
(PRWEB) November 24, 2008 -- Genia Stevens, editor of the lesbian and gay blog SistersTalk, announces the launch of GayWallet.com -- a social network designed to connect the LGBTQ community with companies and organizations that promote full equality for all Americans. The network is an alliance of gays and straights who are committed to supporting companies, organizations, and individuals who support the LGBTQ community. GayWallet.com allows users to create groups, upload videos, post pictures, write blog postings, participate in various forum discussions and network with like-minded individuals.
The new LGBTQ social network, GayWallet.com, is a peaceful protest against California's Proposition 8 and other anti-gay legislation in the United States. It is a modern-day movement that utilizes today's technology -- the internet and social networking web sites. Stevens says, "Gay Americans buy goods and services. We spend our money on cars and houses. Our tax dollars are used for schools and roads and social services. We deserve nothing less than equality. If a company or an organization wants to help right-wing religious fanatics strip us of our equal rights, it's only fair that we know who those companies are so we can spend our money elsewhere."
Social networking web sites are a growing trend and are often utilized by individuals and organizations that need to gather like-minded individuals in a central location. TwitterMoms.com gathers mommies who micro-blog using Twitter; Women on Career Break is a social networking web site that connects women who are in-between jobs. GayWallet.com seeks to connect the LGBTQ community with like-minded individuals who support equality for the LGBTQ community.
"We're bridging the gap between the LGBTQ community and our heterosexual allies. Too often, the LGBTQ community forgets to engage non-LGBTQ people in our equality dialogue," says Stevens, "It's crucial that we start reaching out to every single person who supports our fight for equality."
