Anti-Gay Marriage Donors Fear Increased Threats After California Judge's Disclosure Ruling
Supporters of Proposition 8, the California constitutional amendment that banned gay marriage in the state in November, say they expect discrimination, harassment and intimidation to continue after a federal judge denied a request to keep private the names of donors to the initiative.
Douglas McDermott, president of McDermott Financial and Insurance in Sacramento, donated $15,000 to the Prop. 8 campaign in September. While his business hasn't been targeted, McDermott said some angry callers have left threatening messages.
"You get telephone calls, you get threats," McDermott told FOXNews.com. "Ask anyone — If you've donated, your name is published everywhere, all over California. That's what's happening."
"They come all day and night," he said.
Another donor, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals, said employees at his California real estate development and investment company received an anonymous e-mail in October outing him as someone who gave $30,000 to support Prop 8.
"Did you know you work for a judgmental bigot? I know I could not work for someone who encourages bigotry and hate," the e-mail read.
...but this kind of harassment will never be considered "hate crimes" on the left coast. :banghead:

I want the donors (especially the corporate ones) names that were pro gay marriage too. I would also like the names of all of the donors against the South Dakota abortion ban listed.

Love and peace and peace and love. As long as you totally agree.

Right!
"Did you know you work for a promoter of moralless behavior and the destruction of the tradition family? I know I could not work for someone who encourages sodomy, social breakdown, and hate," the e-mail read.
Let's get this party started!
