by Andy Birkey • 11/13/08 • California passed Proposition 8 or Prop H8 (H8 = “hate,” get it?) to rescind marriage rights for same-sex couples. It’s one of the first times in American history that voters chose to take away a civil right at the ballot box.

Here’s a list of Minnesotans who cared so much about denying rights to gays and lesbians that they contributed financially to end same-sex marriage for California.

A new blogger on the scene complied this data. “I decided that as many people as possible deserve to see these names and their affiliations. Do what you will with the information, but I plan boycotts where appropriate and protests where possible. I encourage you to do the same. In the coming days I will publish the names of Minnesotans who took the time and expense to make a monetary donation on the issue of California Proposition 8. I will continue to flesh out the information as more becomes available. This post will cover those who supported passage of the amendment. Worry not, I’ll soon post those who donated to the fight against it as well.”
