You might think of the Drug Policy Alliance as a single-issue organization focused on ending the war on drugs. In fact, in a section titled “A Broad Coalition” at the “About Us” page of the organization’s website, the Drug Policy Alliance declares that “Our supporters are individuals who believe the war on drugs must end.” This description fits in perfectly with the idea that the Drug Policy Alliance advocates regarding drug policy on behalf of a broad coalition of people who disagree on many things but all support ending the drug war.
At least recently, though, it seems the organization’s focus has changed. Case in point, the Drug Policy Alliance proclaimed this week that it has a “queer agenda” that goes far beyond policy related to drugs.
