A look into its political giving<\/a>: \u201cSince 2012, Facebook has also favored politicians with anti-LGBT voting records. More than 40 percent of Facebook\u2019s PAC contributions, totaling roughly $156,000, have gone to politicians voting\u00a0against<\/a>\u00a0LGBT rights. In 2014, Northstar Asset Management which owns more than 55,000 shares in Facebook\u00a0filed<\/a>\u00a0a complaint with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission demanding the company\u2019s PAC fall in line with Facebook\u2019s values of being pro-gay<\/a> and intellectual property rights.\u201d<\/p>\n LET IT GO<\/strong>.

<\/a>REGINA THORNE-DUBOIS<\/strong>. Houston drag queen raises thousands for hurricane survivors<\/a>: \u2018Though her home did not flood, Thorne-DuBois said she was stuck inside for days due to floodwaters that surrounded her neighborhood. The 22-year-old had an idea: She and some fellow drag performers would stream their show live<\/a> on Facebook from their living rooms. They would also use the social media platform to encourage viewers to send tips, which they would donate to flood survivors. During the first hour of the show on August 28 \u2014 two days after the hurricane struck \u2014 Thorne-DuBois watched the donations pour in. At that point, she knew she couldn\u2019t stop. The performance, she said, turned into a 9-hour-long \u201cdrag-a-thon.\u201d She said they raised $3,000 during the first show.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
