Update Dec 14th 2011 - Because you raised your voice, the world’s most popular online payment service sent a strong message against hate. PayPal cut ties with 4 of these organizations, began a review process on the rest and responded publicly: "We take very seriously any cases where a user has incited hatred, violence or intolerance because of a person's sexual orientation."
We will continue to work with Paypal as they review the other organizations on our list.
Thanks to PayPal, it's easier than ever to send and receive money across currencies and continents - but it is also PayPal's responsibility to make sure this technology doesn't fall in the wrong hands. Anti-LGBT extremists all over the world are currently using PayPal to fundraise for their dangerous cause.
Not only is it against PayPal's rules to promote promote "hate, violence, [and] racial intolerance," hate groups also damage PayPal's brand and credibility. We ask that PayPal join the fight against online hate and immediately shut down the accounts of anti-LGBT extremist groups using the service. (Posted 9/12/11)
