San Francisco-- Gay and lesbian groups have grown in a generation from being efforts run by earnest volunteers on a shoestring to big-budgeted agencies administered by salaried professionals-- people
paid primarily to keep the people paying them happy. Throw in the gay-focused AIDS service groups, and the US gay and lesbian non-profit sector amounts to a hundred-million-dollar-plus annual industry. Who keeps tabs
on what's done with all this money? Mostly, it's not the gay press. Fed a steady stream of press releases and story spins, gay journalism tends more to be more the lap dog than watch dog of nonprofit groups. Hence the value
of the Accountability Project, a year-old Web site which posts the tax forms of a number of non-profit gay and AIDS groups. Did you know that Kevin Cathcart, head of the Lambda Legal Defense Fund, earned a cool
$138,591 in 1996? Or that the Human Rights Campaign Fund had revenues last year of 9.6 million dollars? You did if you visited www.accountabilityproject.com.
