You can find people in your area (or anywhere else) who've contributed to Prop 8, on either side, here: http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-metro-prop-8,0,2463893.htmlstory

I was just pondering public exposure of those who subsidize hate. Maybe there's a down side to it that I haven't realized yet.

Thoughts?

Business faculty, naturally. :eyes:

I'm going to see if I can find any more. And then flyers may mysteriously appear. :evilgrin:

edit: Whole lot of haters working for the local K-12 district. :scared:

2nd edit: and I found a fake entry http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-metro-prop-8,0,2463893.htmlstory?appSession=24238833429294&RecordID=&PageID=2&PrevPageID=1&cpipage=21&CPISortType=&CPIorderBy=

"they withdrew $50,000 from their savings and donated it to the Yes on Proposition 8 campaign, the ballot measure that seeks to ban same-sex marriage."

4. Totally appropriate.
Money is speech, you are helping them exercise their free speech.

6. If our gay friends' lives are a matter of public debate,
I'd say it's high time the haters' lives are also in the ring.

7. Wow, a recently married gay client of mine is listed with his
contribution opposing it. No big surprise there, other than the dollar amount he's putting up to fight it. Sizeable contribution. But that's not actually surprising.

We were happy to hear his very long engagement is at last over.

8. It's public information
People have a right to know who finances campaigns on both sides of any proposition.
