Prop. 8 Donors Fear Retaliation


On the heels of last week’s federal court ruling that California’s Proposition 8 supporters are not entitled to protect the identities of their donors from the public, antigay Christian groups are expressing fear of retaliation by marriage equality supporters for financially supporting the measure —which added an amendment to California’s constitution making same-sex marriage illegal.

The Colorado Independentreports that CitizenLink, the news outlet for Focus on the Family, recently posted a “dire summary” of the ruling that outlined the organization’s “fears of intimidation and harassment from ‘gay activists’ and ‘the homosexual lobby.’”

While California law requires that political campaigns must reveal the identity of anyone who donates more than $100, James Bopp, a high-profile attorney for religious right causes, has vowed to continue fighting for an exemption in this particular case.

“The result of the judge’s decision is going to literally be a free-fire zone when we talk about the court sanctioning harassment of people who participate in our democratic process,” CitizenLink quotes Bopp as saying. “Absent the prospect of protection in future cases, I think the whole idea here by the homosexual lobby is they now have a threat. They and put them on the Internet. So they already know they’ve got a weapon of intimidation, and without the courts’ protection, they’ll continue to use it.”
