MonsterMum 2,532 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 "Don’t get me wrong: I like Lady Gaga and her parents." Yeh because that's not a standard line right? It's the but part that comes after it and as they say everything after the "but" is gonna dismiss everything that comes in front of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewStevens 5,249 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 "Don’t get me wrong: I like Lady Gaga and her parents." that sounds like: "i'm not racist but..." "i'm not against gays but..." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emvee 7,072 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 This article can NOT spread It will. People will JUMP at the opportunity to say anything bad about this foundation, even if it's misguided and taken out of context. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazygaga 60 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 It's not all that shocking, I mean they have to build a website, get the bus, do all the administrative stuff before they can actually do any charity work. They can't just start giving charity when nobody even knows anything about them :awkney: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefamebitch 691 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The BTWF isn't a charity that donates sums of money to anything though, they organize events in order to assist people in stuff like bullying etc (like the born brave bus)... So 5000 under grants is actually less explainable to me than the rest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pie-kun 1,765 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Erm, none of that spending is unusual for a startup charity. These are for the year it started. There are tons of legal and publicity fees for any charity in its first year. People are really ****ing stupid, I can't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALX 170 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Not suprised since they barely do anything other than the brave bus, and share stories on FB. tbh it's not in the news enough to have any effect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zilla 13,343 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Honestly not surprised that the money I donated last year went to legal fees Makes me more hesitant to donate anything in the future sadly.

WheresTheDoggo 11 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I don't know if its true, i doubt it cause of Immigration risks but I've heard recently with the Harper's Bazaar pieces and the Virgin Galactic seat that the Born This Way Foundation are actually trying to raise money at the moment for more US events and also are saving to bring the bus to country abroad like The UK, Europe and many other countries like that hey I'm Doggo :derpga: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wisdomless1 281 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 So the suggestion was to donate to Elton John's foundation. Well what about startup costs? It's honestly not a big deal to me. It's going to cost a crap load to get a NEW organization settled with a decent foundation that will let it last. Along with that, it takes a lot of money just to raise awareness through advertising, web content development, which probably includes LM.com, its servers, development, and upkeep. Then I know there's gotta be legal issues involved with getting permits for events. I just don't think it's fair to say the numbers don't add up. I'd honestly chalk up the bucketing of those numbers to just poor accounting, which I doubt they did much of in the beginning of its inception.

MonsterMarty 96 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Oh my God MESS. I know I'm in such a minority, but I wish LM.com/BTWF and all love-yourself-and-you're-set stuff would make a swift departure or at least sit way in the background.
