Over the Rainbow: - Wrestling With Angels

Bankrolling the Battle (Paulton, 2007)
Tim Gill, the leading funder of the homosexual agendas, is perhaps the most powerful force
for homosexual activism. Gill grew up in Denver and became involved in homosexual activism
after enrolling at the University of Colorado at Boulder in the early 1970’s. With a passion for
computer technology and making money he launched the software company Quark, which
became a major international software firm, making Gill a very rich man.
In 1992, Gill refocused on gay activism after the passage of Amendment 2 , which
prohibited Colorado localities from passing gay-rights ordinances. Feeling angry that “the
forces of evil are out to destroy us” he began to funnel his wealth to work for pro-homosexual
agendas. In 1994, he formed the Gill foundation through which he was able to use his fortune
to “seed gay- rights organizations in all 50 states” (Paulton, 2007). His support enabled the Gay,
Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) to grow into the leading gay-activist group in
America’s schools. By 2001, the USA Today reported that the “Gill Foundation donations to
homosexual-rights organizations around the country represented 20 percent of their annual
budgets. As of this year, the foundation has made grants of well over $115 million.”
Besides huge donations, Gill used creative and effective ways to promote the gay agenda.
He launched training seminars across the country to “help the organizations sharpen their
message, hone their efficiency and raise money more effectively.” To portray homosexuality
as mainstream, Gill also gave large grants to symphonies, libraries and colleges with the
stipulation that the organizations have a non-discrimination policy toward homosexuals and
that they advertise through plaques, event programs, and annual reports that the funding
came from the Gay & Lesbian Fund of Colorado.
In 2000 Gill became involved in “strategic politics”. Focusing on local campaigns, Gill gave
$300,000, followed by $800,000, followed by $5 million to influence political races. He
recruited three multi-millionaires to join his pro-gay cause: Jared Polis; Rutt Bridges; and
billionaire heiress ,Pat Stryker, sister to a homosexual billionaire from Michigan, Jon Stryker.
The four “Gillionaires” fed money into local races to shift control of legislatures in favor of gayfriendly
candidates. In 2006, Gill and his allies targeted 70 state and local races in a dozen
states. When Gill funneled $5 million into Colorado politics, Democrats took control of both
the House and Senate for the first time in three decades. In New Hampshire, a new Democrat
majority passed a civil-unions law. In Iowa, the Republicans lost the House; the Democratic
majority was able to stop the state marriage amendment and the Legislature enacted a
homosexual nondiscrimination law.
