In a move that shows how much more resourceful and mirthful GLBT activists are than their self-righteous opponents with the funny underwear, the L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center has raised over $60,000 since the election to invalidate Prop. 8--and each of their 2,300 world-wide donors did it in the name of Thomas Monson, head of the Latter-Day Saints.

November is approaching, and both sides of the battle over gay marriage in California are revving up their donation drives. The coalition fighting against Prop. 8, the anti-gay marriage amendment, includes everyone from gay and lesbian activists such as GLAAD to municipal power providers PG & E to Brad Pitt. And the proponents of Prop 8 include, well, people of a more or less religious persuasion, with Baptists, the Knights of Columbus, and even Mormons stepping up to the anti-nuptual coffers in a big way, with the LDS Church perhaps being the strongest proponents of the Amendment at a grassroots level.
