As I prominent on the advocate/facebook blog, like most (I hope) others, I wish GLAAD and Mike Thompson well. While only the insiders of insiders on GLAAD's club really know the accuracy of the statement that GLAAD's modern layoffs are a result of the confused, complicated, and organizationally-poor handling of the net neutrality / ATT / FCC moment in 2011, it doesn't seem like a justifiable assertion from my angle. It may be one of twenty reasons. Non-profits are having it very rough across the board as a simple consequence of the growing but less-than-husky economy and the great uncertainty among economic players worldwide. In besides, when then-president Jarrett Barrios resigned to stop additional commentary of GLAAD during an unfairly GLAAD-focused phenomenon regarding the net neutrality proceeding, an entire group of GLAAD board members left GLAAD with their contacts and resources, as they supported Barrios and/or felt GLAAD's cabinet and others were making Barrios the fall guy. So this is a very complex economic and political importance that I think should not be used as a simple and exclusive excuse like that attributed to Mike Thompson, as it's imperfect, to say the least. Then again, Thompson may have been edited to this short and simplistic, and therefore misleading, single communication. I for one will be making a contribution to GLAAD to help on a very small scale with their unmistakable financial crisis. I hope with the strengthening economy, GLAAD and other honourable non-profits do gain a stronger foundation. It's just not surprising, albeit unhappy and sad, that people lose their jobs in the non-profit sector in these times. But rather than pointing of out superficially self-serving blame and doing it in a simplistic fashion, I craving the future shows me that GLAAD and its leadership will look to solving the quandary rather than spinning the past -- if that is what has happened here. Again, without knowing the context of Thompson's report to the Advocate (and maybe the whole thing is out there and I just don't see it), I can't be reasonable in serious criticism beyond providing some so-far-unsaid context and conditional criticism.
