SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has given $25,000 to help defeat a proposed constitutional marriage amendment in California, despite the fact that a significant percentage of Democrats in the state are expected to support it this fall.
The DNC’s donation was made to Equality for All, a leading homosexual activist group in the state seeking to keep “gay marriage” legal. If passed, the amendment, known as Proposition (Prop) 8, would protect the natural definition of marriage, thus overturning the state supreme court’s May decision legalizing “gay marriage.”
The DNC’s donation and others like them have helped opponents of Prop 8 raise more than $6 million, according to tabulations by the Los Angeles Times. The donation was first listed on the California Secretary of State’s Web site in May about a week before the high court issued its decision. (TAB)
