PayPal Rejects Four Sites For ‘Anti-LGBT Hate Speech’

Responding to AllOut’s petition campaign, PayPal has canceled its services for four organizations know for virulent anti-gay rhetoric: Truth in Action Ministries, Brazilian extremist Julio Severo’s sites, Noua Dreapta, and Dove World Outreach Center. In its press release, PayPal explained that those sites’ “regular anti-LGBT hate speech puts them starkly at odds with PayPal’s own ethics policy, which states that account holders ‘may not use the PayPal service for activities that […] promote hate, violence, racial intolerance.’” There are six more groups targeted in AllOut’s campaign that PayPal has yet to address.
