Charity, Unity, Fraternity, Bigotry.
The L.A. Times' L.A. Now blog reports that the Knights of Columbus have donated $1.25 million to support California's Proposition 8, which would revoke the right of gay couples to marry in the state.
Best comment on the blog so far:
Let's see, an all male organization that likes to march in parades dressed in feathery hats and gaudy uniforms wants to ban gay marriage?If that isn't denial, I don't know what is.
As of 4 p.m. yesterday, the anti-marriage crusaders had taken the lead in contributions.
If you're interested in validating your geographical stereotypes, you can see a graphical breakdown of contributions within the state (both for and against the initiative) broken down by county, or search a nationwide database of contributors.
Now, it's pretty unlikely that this loathsome initiative will pass (thanks partly to state attorney general Jerry Brown's decision to clarify the ballot language), but why not donate against it anyway?
