When queer organizations face ethical dilemmas about funding sources

Our local queer community center is trying to decide whether to accept funding from a corporation that has a mixed track record on LGBTQ+ issues, and the board is split - some of us think we need the money to survive and others think it compromises our values. The meetings are getting heated and I'm worried we're going to tear apart the organization over this.

What we've seen

A community is being forced to choose between financial survival and ideological purity while the decision-making process threatens to destroy the relationships that hold them together.
