Map of Pro-Prop. 8 Donors Causes Controversy

This interesting blurb from The Advocate makes one wonder how we should engage these issues here in Venango County:

An interactive map that allows one to locate where people who contributed money to pass Proposition 8 live and work is causing a stir.

One of Andrew Sullivan's gay Atlantic readers who was raised Mormon wrote that finding out one of his aunts in California donated to the cause was like "a gut punch."

"And that is surely one useful element of the map," Sullivan writes in response. "It helps one see whom to engage. And I don't get the fear. If Prop. 8 supporters truly feel that barring equality for gay couples is vital for saving civilization, shouldn't they be proud of their financial support? Why don't they actually have posters advertising their support for discriminating against gay people -- as a matter of pride?"
