The Gay and
Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation made a contribution of
$100,000 contribution to the "Vote No on Prop 8: Equality
for All" campaign, GLAAD announced Wednesday. The
contribution will be an addition to in-kind services
donated to the campaign to defeat California's
Proposition 8 ballot proposal. Prop. 8 intends to
overturn the state supreme court's decision that legalized
gay marriage.
"GLAAD's board of
directors and staff are proud to play our part in this
vital effort to ensure that all loving and committed couples
in California continue to have the protections and the
security that marriage provides," Yvette Burton,
cochair of GLAAD's board of directors, said in a press
release.
The contribution
will go to supporting public education efforts and voter
outreach to defeat the proposition. (The
