发帖数: 19713 | 1 The founder and CEO of Microsoft have each donated $100,000 to support
Washington state's marriage equality law that is being challenged by a
referendum vote this November.
Checks from Microsoft founder Bill Gates and CEO Steve Ballmer were
delivered to Washington United for Marriage on Friday.
"It's going to make a tremendous difference," Zach Silk of Washington United
for Marriage said to the Associated Press on Monday. "It's very important
for us to have that broad support from business leaders and companies
themselves."
A marriage equality law was passed and signed by Gov. Christine Gregoire,
but antigay activists, including the National Organization for Marriage have
stepped in to challenge the law. Referendum 74 was certified for the
November ballot with 240,000 signatures gathered by antigay groups. |
