The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has given $25,000 to fight California's marriage-protection amendment. The measure, which goes to the voters in November, would amend the state constitution to define marriage as the union between a man and a woman.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the DNC and other activist groups have raised more than $6 million to keep same-sex "marriage" legal in the state.
The DNC has been quick to follow the lead of Sen. Barack Obama, who opposes California's marriage amendment and has promised to repeal the federal Defense of Marriage Act, if elected president.
"This is one more example of the national Democratic Party embracing policies that threaten the stability of families," said Carrie Gordon Earll, senior director of issue analysis at Focus on the Family Action. "Voters should remember this donation advocating for homosexuals to marry in California when Democratic candidates attempt to woo evangelicals with talk of faith and values. This donation does not line up with biblical truth."
