This is amazing. Stand for Marriage Maine’s web page says this:
Your support will help us stand up to the vast network of wealthy homosexuals with seemingly unlimited resources from places like Hollywood, New York and Massachusetts. Washington, D.C.’s largest national lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender civil rights organization has already pledged to spend as much as $5 million to try to defeat us.
Five million dollars from the Human Rights Campaign? Let’s review. According to campaign filings by both sides, Protect Maine Equality’s three largest donors are:
These three contributions altogether make up only 22% of Protect Maine Equality’s total budget. The rest has come from ordinary contributors like you.
Now let’s look at Stand for Marriage Maine. Their top three contributors are:
Altogether, these three organizations alone have provided 83% of Stand for Marriage Maine\’s total budget.
Who’s trying to buy an election while pulling the wool over the eyes of Maine voters?

In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for “cross-gender disturbance” in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.
When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than 500 posts to tell the story of one nation’s embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be updated continuously as events continue to unfold. Check here for the latest updates.
In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that “[Paul] Cameron’s ‘science’ echoes Nazi Germany.” What the SPLC didn”t know was Cameron doesn’t just “echo” Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution’s architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a “plausible idea” in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.
On February 10, I attended an all-day “Love Won Out” ex-gay conference in Phoenix, put on by Focus on the Family and Exodus International. In this series of reports, I talk about what I learned there: the people who go to these conferences, the things that they hear, and what this all means for them, their families and for the rest of us.

Part 1: What’s Love Got To Do With It?
Part 2: Parents Struggle With “No Exceptions”
Part 3: A Whole New Dialect
Part 4: It Depends On How The Meaning of the Word "Change" Changes

At last, the truth can now be told.
Using the same research methods employed by most anti-gay political pressure groups, we examine the statistics and the case studies that dispel many of the myths about heterosexuality. Download your copy today!

Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the “Dutch Study” to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their steady relationship. In this report, we will take you step by step into the study to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council submitted an Amicus Brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that court prepared to consider the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small section of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family “Research” Council.
The FBI’s annual Hate Crime Statistics aren’t as complete as they ought to be, and their report for 2004 was no exception. In fact, their most recent report has quite a few glaring holes. Holes big enough for Daniel Fetty to fall through.

“network of wealthy homosexuals”? Honey, come down to MY apartment, take a walk in MY neighborhood, and look at MY tax returns and MY bank statements, and we’ll see how “wealthy” this donor is.
I donated $5. People can judge all they want but it’s what I can afford, plain and simple. If I had the resources of someone like my parents, I’d donate probably more like $100. The minimum suggested is $35. And I’m guessing a lot of “little” donations are what is making this thing happen.

Again this reeks of the sort thing that colors anti-Semitism.
Gays/Jews, smaller in number, but somehow extra nefarious due to their “networks of wealth.”

Wealthy gays with unlimited resources my backside. My wife and I both live below the poverty line. Even in my better days I could never be classified as “middle class”, let alone wealthy–and that with multiple jobs and/or substantial overtime. If we’re so wealthy and powerful why don’t we have our rights yet?

Inspired me to make another $35 donation–I’m way over my non-deductible (and deductible, too) budget for the year and there are two months to go…

Unbelievable, but true to form. The facts are right in front of them, and they still lie.
I would like to see an ad that shows a kid being bullied in school because his family is “different”, and have the question asked if this is what you want your child taught in school. Turn it around on them. Those who don’t care one way or another if gays marry need a reason to get off their butts and go vote.

The news media should be reporting the facts about what has been contributed and by whom to these campaigns and let the people see the liars for who they really are. These lies need to be exposed!
