Prop 8 (CA) Donors in Pennsylvania

This is the list of people in Pennsylvania who donated to the anti-gay & homophobic Proposition 8 on the ballot yesterday in California.

There's only 19 donations listed, thank goodness, but if you look more closely, Josephine & John Templeton of Bryn Mawr donated a total of $1.2 million (in five separate contributions) to pass a constitutional amendment that discriminates against same-sex couples in a state on the other side of the country.

The silver lining is that 328 people in Pennsylvania donated to committees opposing Proposition 8, with Merrill Budlong of State College and Suze Orman of Exton topping the list with $10,000 each.

To do your own lookups, check out the San Francisco Chronicle Database.

That looks like the Templetons of the Templeton Prize for scientists who say nice things about religion and Templeton Foundation which funds scientific research into things other than stem-cells or evolutionary biology.
