According to The Economist, BLM is planning to start a bank and has already begun giving money to "gay rights groups" (75 percent of black people voted to ban gay marriage in California in 2008 but the figureheads who run the Black Lives Matter organization are two self-described "queer lesbians" who say on their official website their goal is to "foster a queer?affirming network" with "the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking").

From The Economist, "Six months after mass protests began, what is the future of BLM?":

Start with the great fire-hose of money pointed at BLM groups and sympathisers. The example of Niko Georgiades of Unicorn Riot, a non-profit, left-leaning media firm that posted early footage of protests in Minneapolis, is instructive.
