Duggars help LGBT youth — unwittingly. You can, too.

I'm late in reporting an effort I've already cheered on Facebook and Twitter. But here, from the Bilerico Project, is happy news about how the Duggars anti-gay work in Fayetteville has been used to help gay youths in Arkansas.

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, they of many children and a reality TV show about same, have contributed heavily to the campaign to defeat Fayetteville's civil rights ordinance because of their support for legal discrimination against gay people. The Duggars don't live in Fayetteville, but they and others of their political stripe have tried to foment a panic about transgender people using restrooms that match their identity.

Scott Wooledge of Memeograph Studios created the image you see at top and it's been going around the Internet via Twitter and Facebook as a tool to raise money for Lucie's Place, an organization in Little Rock that helps homeless LGBT youth. It operates on a shoestring. That money has included some support from a private foundation board in which I participate, so I can vouch for its good intentions and work.
