Somebody didn't get the message
The LDS Church isn't the only Utah heavyweight trying to affect the outcome of California's proposition to ban same-sex marriages.Utah County millionaire and gay rights activist Bruce Bastian stood up at a San Francisco dinner in opposition to Proposition 8 that would define marriage as only between a man and a woman. Bastian wrote a $1 million check to the campaign against the constitutional amendment.
Out-of-state money pouring into California on the issue, for and against, has been neck and neck. Brad Luna, a spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign, sponsor of the fundraising dinner at which Bastian opened his wallet, says the issue is not California's alone:This is a campaign that's important to the entire country, not just California. The result will have effects across the United States.The LDS Church's has called for members to donate their "means and time" to pass the California constitutional amendment. Meanwhile, church leaders have indefinitely postponed what would have been a historic meeting with the gay-Mormon support group Affirmation.
