The Advocate has the story:
Robert Rowling, the CEO of the company that owns Gold’s Gym, has donated more than $2 million to American Crossroads, Karl Rove’s organization that works to elect antigay politicians, according to website Change.org. Rowling is the head of TRT Holdings, which owns the chain of gyms, which is popular with popular with LGBT people across the nation, and is one of several people who are helping to get Rove’s organization running.
I’m not a huge fan of boycotts, (I think they frequently end up getting the boycotted business MORE business from people wanting to support whatever the business is in trouble for originally supporting…) but Gold’s Gym and the CEO who runs the company make MILLIONS and MILLIONS of dollars from Queer money. Mr Rowling has a right to give his money to whomever and whatever he pleases. So do LGBTQ gym members.
Dump Gold’s Gym.
UPDATE: And, thanks to Scott L. for the news tip! We appreciate it!
