DNC Coverage: Gill Helping Anti-Gay Politicians Find New Jobs

Tim Gill might be best known for his work in politics and philanthropy, but he considers himself a career counselor.
Gill, the wealthy and notoriously reclusive gay founder of Gill Action Fund, told members of the Democratic National Committee's LGBT Americans Caucus at a meeting Monday that he's simply helping anti-gay politicians find new jobs.
"Rick Santorum was a wonderful example of a man who needed a change in career," he said to laughter and applause. "All of us banded together to make it happen. And there are thousands of people in this nation that are really in need of a new career."
A featured speaker at the first of two LGBT Americans Caucus meetings this week, Gill told the many gay delegates in attendance that they were right to push for change at the national level.
But the man who's poured millions into the campaigns of pro-gay state legislators said those who seek change should know that it's best affected at the local level.
