California Approves Restrictions for Nonprofits

The California Assembly OK'd a bill last week that would force some nonprofits to record the sexual orientation of board members, as well as the number of grants awarded to homosexual groups.

According to citizenlink.org, under AB 624, foundations with assets over $250 million would be compelled to collect information including the racial, gender and sexual orientation composition of the board of directors; and the number of grants awarded to organizations serving ethnic minority communities and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities.

"Requiring foundations to collect — and publicize — the gender, ethnicity and sexual orientation of their directors and staffs, and the same data for communities and groups receiving their grants, is no doubt an incremental step toward forced diversity quotas," said Becky Burgoyne, research analyst for the California Family Council.

AB 624 will be considered by the Senate within the next few months.
