NorCal Utility Gives $250K to Defeat Gay Marriage Ban
It was hinted towards on Monday and yesterday it came true. Pacific Gas & Electric donated a quarter million dollars to the No on Prop 8 campaign, which seeks to defeat a proposed amendment change that would eliminate gay marriage in California. "The utility also said it will spearhead the formation of a business advisory council that will seek to get other businesses around California to to defeat the ballot initiative," reported the LA Times. The working theory behind businesses getting on the No on Prop 8 bandwagon is that if passed, the ban would be bad for business and many more gay employees are out and in higher ranking positions.

happens to me too when it comes to companies fighting to reverse bans, etc. it's like a triple negative or something. I'm just glad one of these comments didn't have something to do with screwing in a light bulb.

This is incredible. Think of it....equal rights for all citizens who work and pay taxes, fight and die in the same wretched war, or sacrifice their sons and daughters in the same war that opposite sex couples do. The state can't take our money and deny us equal rights anymore. Think of a state where any loving committed couple can marry. that is a state that finally will have it right. It's such a no brainer so of course if you struggle with this concept clearly you have some self introspection to do.
