When first written, the California bill would have required a private foundation to gather information about its operations pertaining only to race and gender.  Becky Burgoyne, legislation analyst with the California Family Council, says it was soon amended.

"They have now expanded that to all foundations. And so they're all included now, but they also put in sexual orientation."

Jeff Johnston, a gender analyst at Focus on the Family, finds the demand, to gather information on sexual orientation, ironic.

"On the one hand, you have people on the left saying, for years, that they don't want the government in the bedroom.  And then here they are trying to collect information about what happens in the bedroom."

The current proposal only requires information be "gathered."  Johnston says that won't last.

"They'll start collecting the data and then they'll move to doing some sort of enforcement about it; some sort of anti-discrimination enforcement about the data that they collect."

Current required disclosures include cataloguing the Board of Trustees, in terms of their sexual-orientation.  Oh, and there's another step.

"It requires them to publish the information on the internet." 

Other required data would be the number of grants made to the lesbian, gay and transgender communities. Critics predict that's the first-step to establishing quotas.
