He supported an anti-gay marriage candidate with campaign contributions. Essentially, if he'd not had the Prop 8 donation, and only the campaign contributions, no one would have made a connection. His donations would've shown that he supported Republican candidates (since he, outside a response to the Prop 8 donation, made no statements regarding gay marriage that anyone ever linked to) and nothing else.


How do you know that he donated to these candidates primarily because of their anti-gay rights views anyway? Correlation != causation you know?


We don't, but no correlation would have been made without the Prop 8 donation. That was my point.


Okay fair enough. If your point is that it can be used to argue for more character flaws or whatever then yes, I agree, it can.
