Social networking entrepreneur Chris Hughes and his partner, Sean
Eldridge, the political director for Freedom to Marry, donated $50,000
as part of a matching donation campaign to raise funds for the legal group Gay and
Lesbian Advocates and Defenders.
The organization, known by the acronym GLAD, is currently waging a challenge to the Defense of Marriage Act, which prevents the federal government from establishing or recognizing unions or marriages of same-sex couples.
Hughes, who helped found Facebook and recently established Jumo, volunteered for GLAD while attending Harvard. The donation was one of many the couple plan to make this month -- last month they announced they are matching donations until the
end of the year to gay rights causes Freedom to Marry, Empire State Pride Agenda and Equality Maryland.
