Equality Florida’s annual summer Equal-a-Thon crushed this year’s fundraising goal of $74,000 with a total of $83,955 raised. The pledge drive comes ahead of this year’s election season. Equality Florida reports they’ll use the money to educate voters about where candidates stand on LGBT issues, repeal the state’s anti-gay adoption ban, secure domestic partner benefits, outlaw discrimination and respond to anti-gay attacks and hate crimes.
