Base8 (Know your anti-gay Proposition 8 donors)

Base8



It's just the lawyers right now--all 845 of them--but there's much, much more to come.



What is Base8 all about?

What: A human-edited database of businesses and individuals who have contributed to anti-marriage equality ballot initiatives, in a format much like the old Yahoo!; i.e., in top-down directory style, and completely searchable (by anything from name to Zip code).

Why: Because we don’t believe in giving our money to people who will in turn use our money against us.

Why it’s different: It is the result of many months of detailed, cross-checked research, which (while using information that is 100% publicly accessible and easily confirmed) reaches far beyond a mere mirror of public records, and begins the laborious process of making sense of the vast web of connections among donors. And, while using a standard, top-down directory format, the information is presented in clear, plain English.

What it’s not: It is not a call to harass or threaten anyone. Nor is it a call to boycott — although we actively boycott every business/individual who has donated money or other resources to deny us our rights.

1. K&R! Have you heard the one about the pot smoking toddler in Ohio?

I am so very grateful for all the work that has gone into Base8.

The "Yes on 8" Ohio attorney who defended the straight married couple? The married couple who gave their toddler marijuana? Jesus F. Christ.

And they think gay marriage is icky? :wtf:

2. Hooray for "Traditional Values"!

And isn't it amusing how many "Family Lawyers" (who tend to specialize in divorce) are among the ones who donated to Proposition 8? But if you want to see something scary check out the Constitutional Freedom Foundation. :scared:
